Autumn Flowers by Dora Meeson

Hello

Please help me with this oil painting I have bought. It is signed Dora Meeson 53, and written on the back is 'August 1953 Autumn Flowers by Dora Meeson'.

Is this the same Dora Meeson I have found online? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dora_Meeson

Measures 14" x 19.5" excluding the frame.

Thanks for looking

 

I think that's very possible. You can compare her handling of flowers here.

The label appears to be that of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours.

The other label appears to be that of James Bourlet & Sons Ltd., fine art packers and framers which is a firm she patronized.

Excellent Deborah, you have saved me several hours of detective work.

 

Naw, just quick Google searches. Happy to be of help.

Ah, this makes more sense. The Royal Institute of Oil Painters used same address at one time. Meeson was a member. A later work but I'd think of collector interest given she was Australian, a suffragette, and an early female member of ROI. Plus an attractive still life in original, high end frame.
