We are pleased to offer for sale this lovely watercolour by the artist Laura Louise Howes, who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner and dated it 1908, thereby making the painting antique. The painting depicts a corner chair in dark wood, possibly beech, with a pink, heavily fringed shawl draped over it. Propped across the chair, is a Spanish style guitar with a broken string and blue ribbons hanging from the tuning head. There are also two or three books and pamphlets on the seat of the chair and possibly some volumes of sheet music on the floor.

Laura Louise Howes, was a Norwich artist, who was born in 1877 in that city and lived there her whole life until she died, apparently unmarried in 1966. She attended the Norwich School of Art and Design and sat the South Kensington Museum examinations there in 1909, where a piece of her artwork remains in their collection. In the 1901 and 1911 Census, she was listed as an artist. She was a Member of the Woodpeckers Art Club 1903-1905.

This painting is one of three by this artist that we will be listing over the next few weeks.

Other than this we have not managed to find any further biographical information, but she obviously had talent and a very good hand.

The painting has been nicely mounted with washlines and is framed in a 7/8" gilt frame. It is ready to hang.

Medium Watercolours with gum arabic

DimensionsImage size 18 1/8" x 15 1/4" 46cm x 38.7cm Frame size 25 1/4" x 22 1/4" 64.1cm x 56.5cm Date 1908  1900s Antiques Material Paper Origin English Artist Laura Louise Howes Condition Very good condition. No fading and the colours appear true. There is a slight shadow mark along the top edge of the mount, caused by downward light causing the mount to fade slightly apart from where it is in the shadow of the frame. This, in our opinion, does not detract, but could be replaced if required. The frame is in good condition, with very minor age related wear. Item code as237a504 Status Sold
