Miss Agnes Ashbee, 1890 (w / c & gouache on paper)
2956772 Miss Agnes Ashbee, 1890 (w/c & gouache on paper) by Linton, James Dromgole (1840-1916); 48.90x36.83 cm; Private Collection; (add.info.: Agnes Ashbee was a younger sister of CR Ashbee, the designer and pivotal figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, who was born about 1869 (she was 21 when this was painted) and was a good watercolourist. She holds a sheet of music; all of the Ashbees played various instruments and sang. The critic of the Manchester Guardian wrote: A singularly subtle colour scheme is that shown in the " Miss Ashbee." Here varying shades of rich brown in the ladys costume and hat are, with a daring crowned by complete success, illumined with a note of slate colour and of positive blue in the bunch of corn-flowers worn in the bodice. ); Photo eThe Ms Gallery, London; English, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Miss Agnes Ashbee, a talented watercolourist and younger sister of CR Ashbee, the renowned designer and influential figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Painted by James Dromgole Linton in 1890, this exquisite artwork measures 48.90x36.83 cm and is part of a private collection. In the portrait, Miss Agnes Ashbee exudes grace as she sits elegantly with a sheet of music in her hands. Music was an integral part of the Ashbee family's life, with all members playing various instruments and singing harmoniously together. The Manchester Guardian critic praised Linton's masterful use of color in this painting, describing it as "singularly subtle". The rich brown tones dominate Miss Ashbee's costume and hat while being beautifully accentuated by daring touches of slate color and vibrant blue found in the corn-flowers adorning her bodice. This image captures not only Miss Agnes Ashbee's striking beauty but also reflects her artistic talent through Linton's skillful brushwork. It serves as a testament to the creativity that ran deep within the Ashbee family during their involvement in the Arts and Crafts movement. Displayed at The Ms Gallery in London, this remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into both history and artistry. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire admiration for both its subject matter and its creator, making it an invaluable addition to any fine art collection.
