Note: The model for the painting Tess was reputed to be Alice Jones, aged 16, at her father's farm in Pauahatanui, New Zealand. The artist, James M. Nairn, proposed to her when she was 18, but she rejected him as being, at 36, too old. By calling his painting "Tess," Nairn has recast her as the eponymous heroine of Thomas Hardy's novel "Tess of the d'Urbervilles," imbuing her with the pastoral innocence of the central character early in the novel. | |
