E G CRESSWELL

E G CRESSWELL
1889

This may be the artist Emily Grace CRESWELL from Leicester, who specialised in miniature portrait painting. She is listed in Johnson & Greutzner, and is possibly, by dates, an exhibitor at the time, despite addresses in Leamington Spa (1926) and London (1933).

An artist of this name exhibited a 'homely study' at NAG in July 1932, when a special show of Thomas Cooper GOTCH's paintings was being held in memory of the artist, then recently deceased. No other E G Cresswell or Creswell exists in the records, though there is an American painter, Elizabeth Cresswell (later born and later arriving in France) listed in Benezit.
