Trying to identify a Watercolour

February 13th, 2010, 06:25 AM

Not sure if anyone can help. Have inherited a lovely water colour. Quite a large one, roughly 1000mm x 600mm. Photos can be found here:

My Mum did do some investigation about this already. The monogram seems to say MAB which she thought might possibly be Mildred Anne Butler, but not sure how to establish this for sure.

Can anyone suggest how I go about finding out the artist?
Thanks

Very nice painting. It appears to be in the style of Edward Burne-Jones. Perhaps it was someone from the Pre-Raphaelite circle, but the monogram is going to be tricky. To me it looks like an M (or an H) with a Y, and maybe an A in there as well.

P.S. It does not seem to resemble any works by Mildred Anne Butler that I have seen online.
