Illustration Interest Original Watercolour By Patience Arnold 1901-1992 'The Milkman' Patience Arnold was born in Royston Yorkshire but spent her childhood in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. Arnold studied at the Harris School of Art, Preston and became a member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Art. In 1967 Patience set up a studio in the Lake District and continued to produce unique and whimsical illustrations for books, greetings cards and private commissions which brought her national recognition. Our client's mother was a long term friend of Arnold's and many of the works presented here were commissioned privately and have remained in our clients private collection. The works have never been offered for sale commercially until now. Presented here is an original watercolour depicting a loosely rendered street scene with a scullery maid receiving the morning milk delivery whilst thirsty cats wait at her feet. The horse drawn milk cart is depicted in the background. In the foreground a young girl in Edwardian dress greets the postman. Signed in grey watercolour to bottom right, 'Patience Arnold' Framed and mounted under glass, excellent condition, 17 x 13 inches
