Description
Margaret Fisher-Prout,
British 1875-1963 -
Still life;
oil on board, signed and dated lower right 'Fisher Prout 1929', 41.4 x 33.7 cm (ARR)
Provenance:
with Arthur Tooth & Sons, London (according to the label attached to the reverse of the frame);
private collection
Note:
reminiscent of the work of Ethel Walker, Fisher-Prout painted in a gentle style using a chalky palette, often focusing on both interior scenes and horses. Works by the artist are in the collections of the Royal West of England Academy, the Royal Academy, London and the Ashmoleum Museum, Oxford. Her father was Mark Fisher, who is often seen as one of the first proponents of Impressionism in Britain.
The work is inscribed 'Vincent Lines' on tape on the reverse of the frame and again under the mount. There is also a reference to Leonard Lines. Vincent Lines was an artist, writer and friend of Fisher-Prout, who wrote a book on the artist.
