Dubbed ‘The Aero Girls’, Millar was one of a number of women used as models to advertise Aero chocolate between 1950 and 1952. Commissioned by the advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson, Millar’s Aero portrait, which was painted by Devas and fictitiously titled, ‘Anna’, was used in Rowntree’s print advertising throughout February 1952. Exhibited in 1954, the present lot was the second of Devas’ portraits of Millar to have been shown at the Royal Academy, the first of which, titled ‘Sarah Millar (with hands clutching shawl)’ was shown in 1953 and was the star portrait of the exhibition.
