Elizabeth Hunter
"Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, Paris" - Watercolor Drawing of French Street Scene

1900-1920

About the Item

"Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, Paris" - Watercolor Drawing of French Street Scene Vintage sketch of a 1920's Paris street scene by E. (Elizabeth) (Elisabeth possibly) Hunter (England, Flourished 1880s-1920s). A priest walks towards the viewers from the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, a hill overlooking the left bank of the Seine in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France. The street is rendered with careful detail loose and expressive marks. This piece is composed of multiple layers of pencil sketches, to gouache and watercolor accents. Signed in the bottom right corner, "E. Hunter." Labeled on verso, "Montagne Ste-Geneviève, Paris." Presented in a new cream-colored mat. Mat size: 18"H x 14"W Paper size: 12.38"H x 9"W E. Hunter (Elisabeth) an English artist who's work is listed in auctions under numerous artist's named Hunter; Mary Towgood Young-Hunter for one, has works listed at auction but are clearly signed and by "E. Hunter." And a Elizabeth Hunter born 1935 has works attributed to her which are dated 1920s and couldn't possibly be by that Hunter. We can only say it is a lovely work and I can't attribute the work to Mary Ethel Young-Hunter 1878-1936 or 1872-1947, numerous major auction houses have paintings signed E. Hunter and attribute them to Mary Young-Hunter.
