'. the greatest picture of modern times'. But these beautiful. fin de siecle gentlewomen came to epitomize a vanished world. The languor of their pose reflects the leisured. gilded. existence of the late Victorian aristocracy that was to be dealt a deathblow by the First World War.Yet the lives of these three Wyndham sisters were far more turbulent than their air of calm suggests.
