Bartram Hiles (1872-1927) was born in Bristol, at the age of eight he suffered the loss of both arms in a tramcar accident. By means of extreme willpower, he was able to learn to draw with his mouth, first pencil designs, and later watercolour and oil. He attended art classes at the Merchant Venturers' Technical College, Bristol, and later won a scholarship to the National Art Training School. At that institution he won several prizes. Subsequently he visited Paris, then returning to London where he worked in decoration and exhibited regularly at the Royal Society of British Artists.

The painting features a female leaning against a fence within a colourful wooded area, the location is Combe Dingle, Bristol.

The painting is approximately 14 1/2" by 10" excluding the frame and mount and 22" by 17" including the frame.

In good condition, there is some crazing to the sky.

A very nicely painted scene.
