This is a charming Victorian style watercolor signed Hirschberg. The signature and subject matter suggests that the artist is Alice V. Kerr Nelson Hirschberg. She was born 2/12/1856 and died in 1930. She was the daughter of George William Kerr Nelson the Lord of Chaddleworth Manor in Middlesex, England. She was also decended from Elizabeth Kerr a noted English floral painter. Alice was known for watercolors, illustrations, portraits, landscapes and elaborate interiors. She was widely exhibited in the United States. Some of the exhibits were at the Art Institute of Chicago, The Boston Art Club and The National Academy of Artistic Design. She has many listing in art books including Davenport's Art Report, Who's Who in American Art and Dictionary of Women Artists and the Artist's Bluebook. Notes regarding Alice appear in the Smithsonian Archives of Artists along with her husband and son Georges Laurence Nelson. This watercolor painting is 18" wide by 15" high unframed. It has been framed in a polished golden burl wood frame and now measures 24 1/4" wide by 21 1/2" high, framed. The watercolor features three cherubic children enjoying a day at the beach. The subjects are a boy, girl and a baby. This is a lovely watercolor that has been in my collection since late 1980's. I bought from a Connecticut art dealer at Brimfield, Ma. It was unframed and matted under plastic at the time. I had it framed with acid free paper mat covered in striped polished cotton fabic and layed on the surface. ...
