It was herehe painted several dramatic single figure paintings using PeggyMacrae as his model, such as Girl in White and By Firelight (p.20).<strong>The</strong> palette is severely limited but contains a brilliant, scarletflash of fabric and other subtle notes. <strong>The</strong> painting is remarkablyfree and made alla prima, without revisions to gain an exquisitebalance of form and fluidity and represents the limit of how farthe artist will travel in this direction.24
