[QUOTE="statcat, post: 309476, member: 5954"]This is a watercolor attached to a canvas by British artist Emily J Broughton in 1882. I can't find much information on her online so I was wondering if anyone else can. She seemed to paint very well but I can only find two other works by her online: a wedding scene oil on canvas and a watercolor sketch of a man. This is pretty surprising to me. I attached these pictures below for reference. I found this information online: [I]Miss Emily Broughton - London painter of figure subjects and portraits. Exhibited 1878-1882 at the Royal Academy & Royal Society of British Artists.[/I] I cannot find her date of birth or death. This painting is 20 x 26 and it's kind of puzzling because it's a watercolor attached to a canvas which is something I've never seen before. I can see where the watercolor paper ends and the canvas begins on the left and right sides. I know she must've attached this watercolor to the canvas herself because the paint extends off the paper and onto the canvas on the left and right. I can also see a separation of paper but it works around the woman's clothing (I attached a photo with a red line highlighting where it separates). I'm not sure why it's like this so any guesses would be appreciated. Unfortunately this painting suffered some damage from being poorly packed so there's now some scuffs from it being rubbed against the wood and broken glass toward the sides.
