A Woman’s View: Nora Davison’s watercolours of Eton

Type:Exhibition

Verey Gallery, Eton College, Eton, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 6DW
Nora Davison watercolour of Eton Boys in School Yard

About

This summer visitors can enjoy an exhibition celebrating the work of watercolour artist Nora Davison (1855–1950).

Davison specialised in painting marine scenes before taking up residence above the old Post Office on the High Street in Eton in 1913.

She was in her late 50s and beginning a new phase of her career, capitalising on local demand for views of the streets and buildings of Eton College.

Her works sold mostly to Eton Masters, pupils and their families, for whom she became ‘a familiar figure, sitting on her camp-stool, often with a cluster of boys looking on as she painted some Eton building.'
