A beautiful and very alluring portrait of a girl called Mary Harriet Edwards who was born June 21 1867, in Cornwall in the South West of England. The open book and pillar attest to her being a scholarly child as the Victorian love of symbolism in art reflects. The painting has been professionally cleaned and re-lined. It's in the original frame which has some slight repaired damage. Oil Painting Framed 48" x 37.5" Image 39" x 29" 19th Century
