Special Guest Jonquil O’Reilly
On Friday, 7 October, a specialist in Old Master Paintings at Sotheby’s, Jonquil O’Reilly has a passion for period fashion and writes on the subject for Sotheby’s Magazine and Harper’s Bazaar. She uses clothing and textiles as a means of enhancing the understanding of paintings and contextualizes portrait sitters by the garments that they wear, be it the ruff, the powdered wig, or, indeed, the codpiece.
