Painted by Estella Canziani (1887-1964) who wrote {as well as drew and painted the illustrations for} one of my favourite books on the Abruzzo about her 1913 travels – Through the Apennines & Lands of Abruzzi.
She painted this picture {oil on paper} from inside her house in London at 3 Palace Green in 1922. The white bird in the painting one of the many birds she rescued and cared for.

Indeed, what an fantastic chill space, Zoe. I am looking into trying to get some of Estella’s books. Really looking forward to reading them…thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Anne! Estella Canziani’s books are rare but well worth it.
