“I hate Polly and I hate Dolly” thought Kate as she sulked in her room. She had been the model for the painting Mr. Sargent was working on in the garden. But then Polly and Dolly Barnard had arrived. They were older than Kate--and had fair hair. Now it was Polly and Dolly who were posing for the painting – not Kate.
How Kate gets over her disappointment and takes part in the creation of John Singer Sargent’s well-loved painting is the focus of this charming, true story, illustrated with over 35 paintings and sketches plus period photos and memorabilia.
