Today's painting is a gentle, pastoral scene in oils by Etty HORTON (1835-1905). As a female artist in 19th century Britain, Etty no doubt had to be a tough cookie. Women, in general got short shrift when they dared to stray into the male-dominated domain of art. Etty became, nevertheless well-known and respected for her landscapes which were often compared to the work of John Constable - high praise indeed. #womenartists #landscapeart #womenart
