Dorothy (Tudley) Delaney was an administrator at Boomali Aboriginal Artists Co-operative where Riley shot his Portraits by a Window series. Tudley worked extensively with various Aboriginal community organisations in particular at The Settlement, a neighbourhood centre run by the University of Sydney in Chippendale, where she worked as a youth worker and in drug and alcohol outreach. Outside her usual dress, Riley requested that she wear 1920s period clothing for the portrait.
