Jean Grahame is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jean Grahame carried a sketchbook everywhere but only drew on the left-hand pages, right-handers got a blank stare. She once painted an actress mid-conversation, her face half in shadow, half lit like a stage spotlight. That’s why her portrait of Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies as Etain feels alive: the way light clings to chapped lips, how a hand hovers just shy of a gesture. Look up that painting; the real magic is in the half-second before the next line gets spoken.
