Vera Furneaux-Harris RMS

This drawing is one of a collection of works by Vera Furneaux-Harris RMS that we have for sale, which showcase the artist's talent for depicting young children. Her closely observed drawings capture, with great tenderness, the universal expressions and physiques of preschool age children absorbed in everyday activities. There is great charm in the what is now vintage 1930s clothing and bobbed hairstyles. But perhaps an even greater appeal lies in the evident timelessness of childhood behaviours that these drawings represent.

Vera Furneaux-Harris RMS (b.1904) was a miniaturist, portrait painter and illustrator. She was born in Ross in Hertfordshire and studied at Maidstone School of Art, at the Slade and in Paris. She exhibited at the Royal Academy and also at the Royal Society of Miniature Painters (RMS), of which she was a member.
