Amy Beatrice Hazell (South African 1864 --1946) BOUQUET OF ROSES unsigned oil on board PROVENANCE Acquired directly from the artist and thence by descent 27 by 21cm Beatrice Hazell was an under-rated, yet talented still life painter who came to South Africa at the age of 21 and studied at the Cape Town School of Art where she developed her skill in still life painting. In 1903 her work was shown on the second South African Society of Artist’s exhibition, a singular distinction as she was the only South African woman still life painter to be included in a male dominated genre. Buoyed by her success, she encouraged her friend, the young Maggie Laubser, to take up painting at the time. Eventually Hazell settled in Ceres, where she painted this luminous vignette of roses in 1939. Berman, E. 1974. Art and Artists of South Africa. AA. Balkema. Cape Town and Rotterdam. P.90 Proud.
