Completed Portraits: British 20th C 2 Could this be an early work by Simon Elwes?

Topic: Artist

Could this portrait of Princess Marina (1906–1968), Duchess of Kent, be an early work by Simon Elwes? Compare for instance the portrait of Elizabeth [Betty] Smiley, Mrs Christopher Hussey at Scotney Castle.

Thanks for your comments Martin. The collections management system does indeed detail the artist as Elwes, Simon. Apologies that the information does not show on this record. Can the administrators please update it accordingly?
