Doris Clare Zinkeisen (1898-1991) was a painter, illustrator, constume and theatrical designer and commercial artist. She and her sister Anna (1901-1976) both won Scholarships to the Royal Academy schools in 1917. In London they shared a studio and during the 1920s and 30s both embarked on a wide variety of artistic projects including costume, poster and advertisement design, mural painting and traditional painting. Doris married in 1927 and by 1929 had exhibited at The Royal Academy and won medals at the Paris Salon. Anna won a silver medal at the Salon of 1926. In 1936 Doris and Anna contributed murals to the RMS Queen Mary and in 1940 to the RMS Queen Elizabeth. Their lifestlye is reflected in their art, a mixture of society portraiture, animal portraiture including horses and their riders, and genre scenes set in the parks of London and Paris.
