| Neel lived in New York City
for more than fifty years, painting street scenes, still lifes, and the
variety and individuality of people she encountered. She is widely acclaimed
for her honest, insightful portraits of family, friends, poets, writers,
fellow artists, and others with whom she came into contact. Sid Duffy was
an uncle of the family who commissioned this portrait. |
