This week, I came across a fine watercolour/body colour portrait. It bears the name #A.Walker along with the date 1887. I have not found any information on an Annie Clark the artist but there was an Annie Clark who was the wife of #JosephClark. A well respected Victorian domestic genre painter. He was known to do a large number of pencil sketches and watercolour prepatory works prior to starting on the final oil version. He also used his wife and children as models for many of his works.

As you can see, from the image above, it is sensitively done with controlled brush strokes and toning. It uses few colours and yet achieves a portrayal unifying depth and emotion. It also resembles a pencil sketch in the V&A by Joseph Clark, hence my suggestion that it is not a self portrait but a work done by Joseph Clark either as a study or just a portrait of his wife for his wife.
