Laura Knight Portraits

Laura Knight Portraits - Thryft
Laura Knight Portraits - Thryft

Celebrating a pioneering female portrait artist's journey.

Laura Knight Portraits is a captivating dive into the life's work of a truly inspirational figure. The breadth of over 35 of her finest pieces offers a visual feast that extends beyond mere paint on canvas. Knight's determination and artistry challenged the norms of her time, making this volume not just a collection of images, but a narrative of empowerment and passion that’s perfect for those intrigued by feminist art history.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
