About the Item
This superb atmospheric British Edwardian portrait oil painting is by noted Scottish artist Howard Somerville. Painted in 1911 it is a half length portrait of Miss Blanche Stuchbury, suffragette, in a black dress and hat. The back story is that Blanche was ladies companion to Agnes Kingsley Wood and lived in the household. Agnes' husband was Sir Howard Kingsley Wood, lawyer, politician and Methodist. This would have made for a very interesting household for Blanche to work in. The immediate background of the painting is lighter and so she stands out beautifully. There is a very sympathetic portrayal of her face which has a kindly expression and she is wearing a vivid blue necklace. A really superb Edwardian portrait of Miss Blanche Stuchbury and an excellent example of Somerville's work.

Somerville settled in London in 1899 aged 26 and began to contribute artistically to Punch and other magazines. He then moved to Glasgow and on to New York before returning to London. He was elected RPE in1917. He exhibited principally in London galleries, the provinces and Paris Salon.
