Studies by Evelyn de Morgan












Studies done as Evelyn Pickering just before she married the ceramicist William De Morgan in 1887. The model for the first (a study for the Sea Maidens) is Jane Howell. Found as a portfolio in an attic and featured on this weeks BBC Antiques Roadshow. Valued at £10,000 (seems low to me).

  2. Thank you. I don't usually watch that tv show so I was really lucky. So was the finder of course.
