Fanny Mearns (fl.1870-1881) - Late 19th Century Watercolour, The Day's News

Unknown

About the Item

An extremely fine and reflective watercolour portrait of a seating lady, by the Victorian listed artist Fanny Mearns (fl.1870-1881). The artist has a distinctly delicate technique, using light palettes to depict thoughtful and ponderous interior scenes. Here, the reader reflects upon the day's news, in the farmhouse kitchen of an ancient dwelling, suggesting a focus on the passing of time. Well-presented in an elaborate washline mount and thin distressed wooden frame, as shown. Signed. On wove.
