Ella Mielziner (1873–1968)

Probably part of the artist's series of medallic portraits of friends, artists, and people of influence, this medallion was made at a time when Mielziner, an American friend of Spicer-Simson's, was living in Paris and working as a fashion correspondent for a Boston newspaper. She was the mother of Jo Mielziner, the famous stage set designer.
