Florence Hooton (1912–1988) is shown full-length wearing a white silk or satin dress, with her left hand on the fingerboard of her cello and her bow resting on the strings. The setting is a panelled room, and behind her is a decorative painted panel of pale grey with flowers. The sitter was a student and professor (from 1964) of the Academy, becoming a leading chamber musician and teacher of many fine British cellists. The painting was presented to the Royal Academy of Music by the artist who was a pupil and friend of, and frequent traveller with, John Singer Sargent, and their circle included many musicians. Florence Hooton was married to Professor of Violin David Martin, and the David Martin/Florence Hooton Concerto Prize continues as a major annual event.
