    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

    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.
