"The subject of this early portrait is Marion Wilson, a university friend of Barbara Blackman who stayed with the Blackmans during their first months in Melbourne.
Against the twilight blue of the background, Marion's dark hair and simple garment create a frame for her penetrating gaze and feminine psyche". (Felicity St John Moore)
