Alice Squire RI (1840–1936)

Working at a time when women could not gain the same recognition as men, Alice Squire RI (1840–1936) nevertheless exhibited widely, at Dudley Gallery Art Society, Manchester Academy of Fine Arts, Royal Academy of Arts, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour, Society of Women Artists, Arthur Tooth and Sons, and the Walker Art Gallery. A beautifully ethereal watercolour by Alice Squire RI (1840–1936). Her preferred subjects were flowering gardens, cottages and female figures, painted in a style reminiscent of her celebrated contemporary Helen Allingham (1848–1926).

Here she paints a young lady on the moors, similar to another watercolour by Squire (image 3) that she titled 'The Young May Moon'.
