This image shows an open scrapbook, with the right-hand page displaying a pasted newspaper clipping and several smaller, overlapping news clippings attached to it. The page has a light, aged paper tone, and the scrapbook binding is visible on the left side.
The central piece is a clipping from “The Home Forum” section of the Christian Science Monitor, dated July 12, 1946. It features a prominent, dark silhouette-style portrait in profile of a woman’s head and shoulders — identified in the article as Madame Henri de Waroquier, the wife of French sculptor Charles Despiau.
Below the portrait is a two-column article titled “Madame Henri de Waroquier” and subtitled “A Portrait by Charles Despiau.” The article is by Dorothy Anlow and discusses Despiau’s artistic style. It notes that the portrait was not a direct copy but a “plastic phrasing” that captured the subject’s grace and idealism, comparing Despiau’s approach to that of Rodin. The text emphasizes Despiau’s focus on classical concepts like serenity, dignity, and balance, and mentions his collaboration with Rodin.
Three smaller, identical “Boston News Clip” labels are pasted on the page:
A handwritten “12287F” in blue ink appears near the top of the main clipping, above the “The Home Forum” title — likely a filing or archival identifier.
The clipping credits the portrait to “Courtesy of the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, in The Christian Science Monitor.”
