Violet Oakley 1874-1961 was an American artist and the first woman to receive a public mural commission. During the first quarter of the 20th century she was a renowned path breaker in mural decoration, a field that had been exclusively practiced by men.

Oakley's political beliefs were shaped by the Quakers and was committed to the beliefs of pacifism. When the United States refused to join The League of Nations after the Great War, Oakley went to Geneva and spent three years drawing portraits of the League's delegates.

This portrait is of Frank Lloyd, chief interpreter to the League of Nations. Confidently executed in pencil and housed within its original frame of simulated rosewood. Signed and dated September 1928. To the back is retained the framers label H Picco, Geneva

In good, original condition, some losses to frame edges, image is very good with no staining.
