Yvonne Jammet was a member of the ‘White Stag’ group and wife of the famous Dublin restaurateur Louis Jammet. She
was a well-known member of Dublin’s avant-garde artistic community of the thirties and forties and a close friend of
the sitter, co-founder of Dublin’s Gate Theatre, Mícheál Mac Liammóir. She was born in Paris and initially studied there at
the Académie Julian and at the studio of Jean Paul Laurens. Upon arriving in Dublin in 1928, she held regular exhibitions
with the Victor Waddington Galleries and later participated in the IELA shows. (See Snoddy, p.285).
