MWW Artwork of the Day (10/31/25) Leonor Fini (Argentine, 1907-1996) Les Sorcières (The Witches)(1959) Oil on canvas Private Collection

Made for the Mexican actress María Félix, “Les Sorcières” (“The Witches,” 1959). It melodramatically contains a cataclysmic pictorial voodoo of swirling feminine sexuality. Her technique is less wispy here, as she depicts some form of broomstick dowsing rod combo on which five women ride. This witching rod painting visually twitches with something of a not so terra firma and is the most enigmatic piece in the show. It seems to contain many florid possibilities of interpretation and thus seems magical. Indecision, ambiguity, and conflict become dynamic and useful values here in suggesting secret pleasures.

Holiday's daughter Winifrid (1866-1949) became a violinist and violin teacher, alongside her work as a suffragette.

Alexandra Kitchin (1864-1912) was named after her god-mother Alexandra of Denmark (then Princess of Wales), and was also the subject of at least five photographs by Lewis Carroll aged between four and sixteen.

Reverend Dr George William Kitchin (1827-1912) was the first Chancellor of the University of Durham and Dean of Winchester, and a friend of Carroll and John Ruskin, as well as Holiday.
