Henrietta Creswell (Br.), "Merry Month of May"
Est: $300 - $500
Henrietta Creswell (Br.), "Merry Month of May" watercolor, signed and dated 1891 at lower right, classic Victorian still life with bird's nest on a mossy bank, matted and framed under glass. Ms. Henrietta Creswell exhibited flower paintings at the Royal Academy, Society of British Artists, New Water-Colour Society, Grosvenor Gallery, and elsewhere.The daughter of a doctor in Winchmore Hill, 10 miles outside of London, Cresswell wrote a book about the village and the coming of the railway to Winchmore Hill. The hill she remembered was as bright and fresh as toddling childhood; a blend of clarity and colour, like a mix of paint and transparency. Even the air seemed brightly painted. It was like a land of long ago. What is now north London was then all rickyards and honeysuckle, wild hops, wild roses, thickset hedges [95/96] and forget-me-nots. SS 13 x 19.5 in.; DOA 21 x 27 in.
