Children out for a walk in winter circa 1885. Watercolour painted in or around 1885 by a Victorian child living in England.
Watercolour painted by a Victorian child in the family circle of May Chatteris Fisher (1874-1910), who became a professional artist when she grew up. This painting is possibly by one of May's sisters: Margaret (known as Daisy) born in 1873, or Helen (known as Nellie), born in 1875. The watercolour is not signed or dated, but it was found amongst other paintings signed by May as a child. We have assumed from the style of the picture that the artist was probably no more than 10 or 11 years old at the time. This means that the painting probably dates from circa 1885. In 1904, May married the established landscape painter, William Smallwood Winder (1869 – 1910), and subsequently signed her work MC Winder. Please be aware that this picture is derived from a high-resolution scan of an original artwork by a Victorian child. It is now around 135 years old and inevitably, in that time, the paper has yellowed, browned and suffered wear and tear.
