On offer is an original Victorian watercolour painting of an old lady alongside a range cooker waiting for the kettle to boil. Painted by Rachel Mary Eliza Monson. Dating to April 1901, it has been skilfully executed. This was from the Rachel Kinnear studio collection and is by the hand of her niece (the daughter of Rachel Kinnear's sister Anne who married into the aristocratic Monson family). Rachel & Anne Kinnear were born into a family of artists and their father, James Balfour Kinnear, was a major Victorian artist. Some general signs of wear and ageing to the paper but overall it is very well preserved. An excellent example of it's type. Once framed, it would make a superb decorative piece, signed and dated by the artist and with a strong provenance linking it to the Kinnear and Monson families.
Overall, it measures approx 35.5cm x 26cm.
The painting is presented on an easel in the photos - the easel is not included in the sale.
