Description
Attributed to Helen Allingham, RWS,
British 1848-1926-
A Thatched cottage on a country lane;
watercolour heightened with white and scratching out on paper, 24.5 x 18.1 cm.
Provenance:
The Family of the artist, by whom given to Graham Robertson;
The Property of the late Graham Robertson, Christie's, London, 22 July 1949 (as 'H. Allingham') (bought by 'Vicars').
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
Allingham enjoyed particular success as an illustrator, working for children's publications as well as periodicals such as 'The Graphic', and providing twelve illustrations for the 1874 serialisation of Thomas Hardy's (1840-1928) 'Far From the Madding Crowd'.
Charming views of rural thatched cottages are typical of Allingham's output. She was also a close friend of the illustrator and watercolourist Kate Greenaway (1846-1901), with both artists drawn to the depiction of an idyllic and idealised view of rural England. Allingham enjoyed considerable success in her time, and in 1890 became the first woman to be admitted as a full member of the Royal Watercolour Society.
