§ Augustus Edwin John, OM, RA (British, 1878-1961) Portrait of Alexandra (Alick) Schepeler red chalk 35 x 25cm (14 x 10in) Provenance: Private collection, Cambridge. Exhibited: Folio Spring Exhibition, English and French Master Drawings, No.9a. Rebecca John dates the present exceptional portrait of Alick Schepeler to 1906-1907. It is one of an important group of drawings of Alick Schepeler by Augustus John, and from his best period. Three studies of the sitter are in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, the Manchester City Art Gallery, and there are several in the USA. Alexandra (Alick) Schepeler was the embodiment of John?s romantic ideal; she was part Irish and part German and had been born in Minsk, Russia, in March 1882, making her way to England as a child through Poland. She was employed as a secretary by the Illustrated London News; hard-working and also hard partying at night, she lived for passion, both physical and romantic love. Alick met Augustus John through her friend Frieda Bloch who was studying at the Slade. John and Schepeler kept up a secret correspondence for many years, and throughout many of his other relationships. In 1907, John lived in London for a year and during this time she became his muse. John thought of Alick as an enigma and often compared her to mythological women, most often a water nymph, in his many letters - his ""rose of my soul"" and ""jeune fille mysterieuse et gaie"". He called her ""Undine"" after the female water sprites. We are grateful to Rebecca John for her assistance with the catalogue entry. Under glass and the corners look to be stuck down, with some discolouration and old glue visible and with a little crinkling.
