Don't name name of artist!

[lizw]

Shot in the dark here

I am trying to find the name of an artist but can only describe his work!

All very gentle watercolours in the edwardian era.

one picture is of a lady reclining on a cream sofa reading a book - head turned away.

one is of two little boys in sailor outfits looking out to sea - again heads turned away.

one is of two little girls playing on a beach

Common feature is you can't see any faces

They are beautiful and gentle pictures.

Can anyone help???

sorry! I meant of course - don't KNOW the name of the artist!!!!

Sounds like either one of the pre-rapaelites or perhaps one of the Glasgow school. I'll try to find out a bit more for you lizw

Hi Senga 2 - well I've found out his name - E Van Goethem and have tried googling him but can't get much info!

Do you know anything about him and where I can find a list of his work?

It's driving me mad - I have two paintings of his - the lady and the little boys and want to find the third of the girls but don't know where to start!

is this any help ..His name is Eduoard Van Goethem
The pictures are lovely ..I have often seen them reproduced on cards and am sure I have seen them once in the V&A when they had a seaside exhibition there although they were quite likely prints..
