Ann Underwood RBA RMS Oil Portrait of a Lady
We are offering for sale this beautifully executed oil on canvas by the well known portraitist and miniaturist Ann (Annie) Underwood, who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner with her monogram A U and the date of execution - 1908. She usually signed with her monogram, an exaple of which is on google. The painting depicts a head and shoulders portrait of a white haired lady, with her hair coiled up on top of her head with a bow or clasp. She is wearing a navy blue dress with full sleeves and has a white lace tippet crossed over at the neck and held in place with a gold and citrine brooch.
Ann Underwood was born in 1876 in Forest Row, Sussex, the daughter of George M. Underwood, the proprietor of the Crown Inn. She went to school in Brighton, studied at Brighton School of Art and under Sir Hubert Herkomer at his school in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
