Description

Watercolour heightened with bodycolour.
Anna Alma-Tadema was the second daughter of the Dutch-born artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912) and his mother and step-mother were also artists. She painted mainly flowers, portraits and interiors with great attention to detail like her father. The present watercolour, drawn when she was only twenty, was one of the four works she exhibited at the Royal Academy.

Her father’s biographer Helen Zimmern describes her as a `delicate, dainty artist who has inherited much of her father’s power for reproducing detail’ (see Helen Zimern, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, R.A., 1902, p.8. A self-portrait in oil by her was sold at Sotheby’s on 12th November 2013, lot 15 for £98,500.
