Do you mean the writer Vita Sackville-West?
I have checked on Google Images and found a picture that looked very much like the painting.
So you may be right.

Yes! You are probably right: "All Passion Spent." BBC put out a good one on that years ago. I had been thinking of George Sand. My mind, however, has an image of an elegant woman, dressed as a man, waving a cigarette on a long holder, who had a salon of her own filled with intellectuals of both sex. I must have dreamt it!

I believe she was a friend of Oscar Wilde and he often visited her salon. I believe she supported him financially from time to time?

Yes, I was thinking of George Sand as well...could be just an effeminate man though...

I think that is the famous lady author who always dressed elegantly as a man. What was her name? She was the very first to dare wearing trousers and a man's attire.
