Description: | The low quality of this sketch implies that it may have been produced by Joséphine Bowes at the very beginning of her career as an amateur painter. Little is known about her training, but it appears that she was taught by Karl-Josef Kuwasseg (1802-1877) and started producing works around 1860. She is better known however for her role in the founding of the Bowes Museum, for which she collected many works of art throughout Europe with her husband, John. The Museum opened in 1892, eighteen years after her death. Many of her paintings are on show. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8948... | Go to resource |
