McTague of Harrogate has dated this piece to the 1930s.
She then joined Elsie Inglis' Salonika based (now Thessaloniki, Greece) Scottish Women's Hospitals unit, as an ambulance driver. The unit served under the patronage of the French Red Cross. In recognition of her heroic efforts and distinguished service, she was awarded a British War Medal, a Victory Medal, and a Serbian Medal for Zealous Service. Between 1924 and 1928 Lister raced a Bamford-type Aston Martin racing car at the Brooklands racetrack in Surrey. Her record shows she participated in twelve meetings, competing in 22 different races or events. Her mechanic (who sometimes also raced her car) was Jack Waters, who went on to become a major film and television star, under the stage name of Jack Warner. She was joined in marriage to William Burrill-Robinson in 1935 and lived at Elm House, Redmire. Moving away from her more adventurous hobbies after World War II, she turned to composing art using pencil and watercolours, and was exhibiting as part of the Castle Bolton Group along with Fred Lawson, George Graham and George Jackson in Wensleydale. She died at the age of 64.
"Redmire Village" is a lovely example by this fascinating painter. It shows the artist's home village of Redmire in Wensleydale in Winter. Measuring 11"x 15" it is signed lower left and is framed giving an overall size of 18"x 22".
