Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1870s.
Hailing from Bristol, she was born into an artistic family. Her father, Nathan Cooper Branwhite (1775-1857), was a portraitist and both of her brothers became painters. In 1849, she also married an artist, Edmund Gustavus Muller (1816-1888). Her style, particularly her colouring, is comparable to her husband’s and the two probably worked closely together.
Her career seems to have flourished from around 1874 onwards when she was in her fifties. This coincides with her children reaching adulthood.
Numerous Victorian artists chose to paint along the River Llugwy including the great Benjamin Williams Leader RA (1831-1923).
Bristol Museum & Art Gallery and Royal West of England Academy hold examples of her work.
