Mademoiselle Deckert de la Meillaie, circa 1904

Half figure bust of Mademoiselle Deckert de la Meillaie with her hair pulled up on top of her head and a shawl wrapped around her bare shoulders. Her hand rests on the head of a dog. One of only two known portraits by Yandell in the half-figure format (the other is the 1907 likeness of Dr. Bull), this figure represents a French friend of Enid's. The painted plaster is part of the Speed Art Museum's collection and the marble version is part of The Fine Arts Museum of Nantes collection in Nantes, France.
