G F Watts - Laura Caroline Russell




painted in the 1860's


featured on the Antiques Roadshow


most unusual to show an open mouth (she was having a singing lesson)


she later married the 6th Earl of Wilton


mentions in the programme that when Watts painted the skin of old men he pressed string into the paint to get the right effect


estimate £15 - 20,000


with some minor restoration £20 - £30,000
