What can anyone tell me about this picture?

I have recently inherited this picture & don't know if it is a print, what it is called or who it is by. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hallo zsharon.

Lovely picture! I can't help with id.

But I recently learned that one way to find out if it is a print, is to look closely at the image itself, to see if there any hints of the original mounting (if that is, it is a print) So for example, is there a "weave line" in the image that does not line up on the backing canvas or paper?

The original canvas or paper will have "fault lines" in it, which a print will copy exactly. If those fault lines do not line up with the paper or canvas it is now on, it must be a print.
