Featured watercolour info/help

hi folks

something i picked up today at local auction.
https://www.easyliveauction.com/cat...8a6646f/homewares-and-interiors-sale-lot-780/

the watercolour is big enough as it as and the frame makes is massive

was disappointing with it to be honest, but still happy for what i paid

the basket and the feet i think are done particularly well

i've opened it up but unfortunately, no marks/signatures, nothing

haven't a clue on age or origin

relying on light from the t.v, but you get the idea

any thoughts info appreciated

 

its the face i don't like i think

 

The head's a bit too small for the body. Do you think she was meant to be Irish?

perhaps thats whats wrong with the head, also the shawl hanging makes it look a bit off as well

couldn't even guess on where she is from

 

Well, either there or one of the Scottish islands. That buttress is fairly unusual, I'd think. Can find it in Ireland. Dunno about Scotland. But her basket appears to be filled with barley or wheat. That would more likely be Scotland.

@charlie cheswick, I copied, then cropped & sharpened, in particular the image of her feet........LOOK 'ankle high' between her two bare feet....that sure looks like a signature to me........IMHO!!!! ALSO could be a faint date just below that 'signature'!!

Also saw some VERY FAINT what looked like numbers and possibly a bit
of writing.......in the lower left corner, but it's NOT very legible at all and not really sure what's there........below:

That’s well spotted. That does look like a signature between the feet. But I don’t see the possible numbers at all.

 

Face/head and hand,but I really like the nicely done basket.
