Circle of Myles Birket Foster, Portrait of a red haired girl

About the Item

This exceptional quality watercolour depicts a snapshot of innocence and childhood with this delightful portrait of a red-haired young girl. Presented in a fine quality, hand carved and pierced, period frame with inlaid detail. Circle of Myles Birket Foster (1825-1899) Portrait of a red-haired young girl Watercolour with touches of white 4 inches diamter (image only) 11 x 11 inches with frame This beautiful image is of exceptional quality, as apparent in the delicate detailing to her eyelashes and the sunlit highlights of her hair. This is the work of an artist at the very peak of their powers and the intimacy of the work suggests a connection between artist and sitter such as daughter and parent. The level of draughtsmanship brings to mind artists from this period such as Myles Birket Foster, Fred Morgan and Helen Allingham. The detail is breathtaking and especially so when one considers this is painted in watercolour - no room for error, once the mark is made then that's it. A flawless and beautiful exponent of watercolour painting from the second half of the 19th Century.
