An oil on canvas painting of a woman sitting in an ornate chair, holding a single red rose and looking off into the distance. The woman is wearing a purple and red dress, and the drapes behind her are a deep red as well, combine with the rose to give a romantic feel to the painting.

We couldn’t celebrate love this month without including our Lady in Red, Lady Hazel Lavery in The Red Rose (1923). Painted by her husband artist John Lavery, this is one of more than 400 portraits he made of Hazel, who was also an artist.
