The Patroness
1927

A black and white etching titled "The Petitioner - 1922" by Peggy Bacon, depicting a scene with two women and a dog in an interior setting. The central figure is a woman seated in a large wicker chair, reading a piece of paper, with a bored or unimpressed expression. She is wearing a dress and a shawl, with her legs crossed, revealing high-heeled shoes. To her right, a second woman stands leaning on the back of the chair, peering over the seated woman's shoulder with a look of concern or curiosity. A small dog is at the seated woman's feet, looking up at her. The room is detailed with a fireplace, a vase on the mantelpiece, and scattered papers on the floor.
