Isabel Lewis Young Lady in Dutch Bonnet

Two original c.1900s graphite drawings, Isabel Lewis, Young Lady in Dutch Bonnet.

A beautiful pair of Edwardian figure sketches in graphite by the interesting Royal Doulton artist Isabel Lewis (fl.c.1870s–1920s). Lewis studied at Lambeth School of Art along with her sister, Florence E. Lewis, after which they found successful employment decorating Royal Doulton pottery. From 1898 onwards they relocated to Croydon to focus on their art, travelling, sketching and painting. These drawings appear to date from this period.

They are one of a collection of pictures by Isabel Lewis that we have for sale, which shows the artist working at the beginning of the 20th century in a style that bridges Impressionism and Post-impressionism.
