Country Thatched Cottage Watercolour K. Howitt

Absolutely delightful watercolour by Katherine Howitt (nee Emmett). She was an accomplished watercolour and landscape painter active during the early to mid 20th Century (1910-1960). Most notably for her paintings of traditional Devon Cottages & Garden Scenes. In addition to art career, she was also recognised as a talented Soprano Singer who performed in Opera & Pantomimes. This particular painting is of a quintessential Devon English Thatched Cottage with it's pretty country garden. Embossed stamp to reverse and the names 'David & Jean' - presumably the couple she produced the painting for. Perhaps they Owned the Cottage? Or were just visiting the area on holiday and wanted a fond memento of their time? Included in the photos is one of Her Paintings in the London Museum of the Shop Window of Rattenbury and Co Pawnbrokers circa 1910.
