Walter Sickert’s Ethel Sands Descending a Staircase at Newington (1920) offers a glimpse into the life of Ethel Sands, a well-known painter, hostess and socialite of the 20th century who gathered artists and writers such as Henry James, Arnold Bennett, and  Virginia Woolf in her home in Newington in Oxfordshire.
⁣
While studying painting in Paris during 1897, Sands met fellow painter Anna ‘Nan’ Hope Hudson with whom she then developed a long-term romantic relationship. Differing in temperaments – Sands was a social butterfly; Hudson was more introverted and reclused – they spent much of their lives living and travelling between Paris and England to suit both styles of living.⁣
⁣
Sands and Hudson were lucky to receive generous inheritance funds which relieved them of the pressure to find a husband and they were able to be financially independent. Their house in Oxfordshire, Newington, became a meeting place for members of the Bloomsbury Group such as Virginia Woolf, who became a friend of theirs. ⁣Later on, Sands and Hudson became founder members of the artistic London Group.
