MARGARET BRYNHILD PARKER (1907-1987) FLOWER PIECE Signed, inscribed on label on frame, oil on canvas 49.5 x 39.5cm. Provenance: London, Alex.

EILEEN SOPER (1905-1990) THREE WEES Etching, 1921, signed in pencil 12.2 x 9.7cm. ++ Very slight light staining * The following 28 lots are all by Eileen Soper, an artist of prodigious ability who showed the first of her 250 etchings at the Royal Academy at the age of just 15. Eileen learnt etching from her father, George Soper, and, with her sister Eva, developed a naturalist sanctuary at their home, "The Wildings", in Hertfordshire. She was the illustrator for 35 Enid Blyton books and had a gift for capturing the playful mischief of children in her work. Soper also painted the only known portrait of Eric Liddell, the Scottish athlete whose story was the inspiration for the 1981 film, Chariots of Fire. All these etchings and drawings were found in her home when she died. They were bequeathed to The Artists` General Benevolent Institution and sold by Chris Beetles to raise funds for the charity. These lots were purchased by the current owner from Chris Beetles`s exhibition of both Sopers` works in 1995.
