[edit]

While the title phrase may be simply a play on "Portrait of a Lady" as indicated in the article, has anyone considered the fact that F. Scott Fitzgerald uses this same phrase to describe an anonymous girl in Tender is the Night? Book 3, chapter 5 in my edition, apparently chapter 17 in other editions:

It was the first hint Rosemary had had that they were talking about the Divers, and her body grew tense with indignation. But the girl talking to her, in the starched blue shirt with the bright blue eyes and the red cheeks and the very gray suit, a poster of a girl, had begun to play up. Desperately she kept sweeping things from between them, afraid that Rosemary couldn’t see her, sweeping them away until presently there was not so much as a veil of brittle humor hiding the girl, and with distaste Rosemary saw her plain.

Thoughts?
