Oil painting - Margaret Dovaston

By Matt Bianco, 26 January, 2008
Description

This is almost identical to a painting by Margaret Dovaston called The Start. However my painting has 2 characters missing plus several of the finer details missing. It's possible then that this could be a preliminary painting before the more well known painting was produced? I would be interested to hear your thoughts

It looks like being by a different artist. Margaret Dovaston's style is quite different. Have a look here: http://www.sueburton.co.uk/dovaston/margaret/margaretdovaston.htm As you can see her paintings have much more detail and the perspective is more accurate, too.
