Mary Leonora Carrington was a British-born, naturalised Mexican surrealist painter and novelist. She lived most of her adult life in Mexico City and was one of the last surviving participants in the surrealist movement of the 1930s. From Wikipedia
The 1945 painting 'Les Distractions de Dagobert' sets a new auction record for the British-born artist, reflecting a growing recognition of women in surrealism.
