Little Edie — A 'Staunch Character.'
Edith Bouvier Beale — Little Edie — defied every expectation placed upon her. A former socialite, aspiring actress, and cousin to Jackie Kennedy, she retreated from the world and became something far more interesting: herself. Captured in the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens, her singular style, fierce wit, and unshakeable spirit made her a cult icon for generations to come.
This original portrait by Elliott Best draws from the imagery of that legendary film — reimagined in the studio with bold colour and painterly confidence. Little Edie, as she always was: staunch, stylish, and utterly unforgettable.
Created in the Elliott Best studio in Canada. Printed on museum-quality archival paper.
