Wright, David - elegant woman in armchair (1950s)

Classy beauty from a time when we idealized that high society people dressed up for the day even if they stayed indoors.  She is nicely posed to stress the diagonal line on the right side.  Relax and enjoy with a cup of tea.  

wow! VERY Carol-y...

Yes, perhaps a precursor to Carol Day, or maybe even a study of her as he attempted to decide how he wanted to position her in a given panel for a daily he may have been working on.

Delightful!  Lovely pose and nicely handled vignette

Beautiful! Was Carol Day inspired by Grace Kelly?

It's hard to imagine she was not a visual influence; Carol Day starts in Sept 1956 and Grace Kelly was at the height of her critical acclaim and peak career films in the 1954-1955 tiime period (Dial M for Murder [1954], Rear Window [1954], The Country Girl [1954 - Oscar for Best Actress], and to Catch A Thief [1955] were all released in this window). Interestingly, well after the strip ended, a 21-year-old London woman named Moira Stone, a British Rail employee, was highlighted in the August 21, 1970 Daily Mail as being an absolute Carol Day lookalike as considered by Londeners. The article that day was entitled, 'The Girl They All Call Carol Day'.
