Description: Mary W Smith (1904-1992) was a painter in oils of still lifes, interiors and portraits. She was born in Bury, Lancashire, nee Parker, and studied art at the Slade School in London where she won prizes for drawing, painting and composition.

The present work is an oil on canvas and measures 16 x 20 inches, excluding the frame.  It was acquired directly from the estate of the former owner who bought it at auction very many years ago. The painting is signed and dated 1957, and is housed in its original frame, with the remnants of various exhibition labels attached. Both the painting and the frame are in excellent original condition.  A painting titled 'Fruit' was exhibited by the artist at the Royal Academy in 1958...
