Lot Details
Margaret Stoddart (1865 - 1934) Harbour, St Ives Watercolour Signed bottom left, undated 465 x 600mm Provenance: Private collection, Christchurch Condition: Very good An extraordinary work in both scale and subject matter, this painting comes from an important period in Stoddart’s life, when she was working in St Ives alongside other significant New Zealand artists. A fine demonstration of her technical skill, it was exhibited in Margaret Stoddart: Flowers into Landscape at the Robert McDougall Art Gallery in Christchurch’s Botanic Gardens. Drawing on works from private collections throughout New Zealand, the exhibition traced the principal stages of Stoddart’s career and showed her continual growth as an artist. It also revealed a significant cultural shift in how she saw and depicted the New Zealand landscape, across a long and distinguished career as one of the country’s first professional female artists.
