Description

This early 20th-century drawing by British artist Phyllis Mary Antrobus (1905-1983) depicts a family within a lounge interior. It was produced in 1918 when she was 13 years old and perhaps one of these young ladies is her.

It’s a particularly poignant work by Antrobus as she was raised without the presence of her father who passed away in 1907. Edmund Antrobus was a notable surgeon who spent time in Great Malvern when the town was flourishing due to the healing properties of the ‘water cure’. It seems he moved around quite frequently to educate himself.

In 1911, Phyllis was living in Liverpool with her mother, grandmother, uncle and two siblings. This scene probably represents a typical evening spent with her mother and friends.

It’s signed, dated, held in a period frame and glazed.

Medium: Pen and ink on paper

Overall size: 21½” x 17” / 54cm x 44cm

Year of creation: 1918

Condition: Artwork presents well. Minor foxing. Frame with some light wear.

Date of Manufacture

Brave Fine Art has dated this Framed Antique Drawing to the 1910s.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

FAQs

These works typically feature detailed line work and hatching, capturing intimate domestic interiors and everyday family life with illustrative precision.

Artworks from this era were commonly created using India ink or pencil on high-grade archival paper, housed within solid timber frames with protective glazing.

Authentic pieces exhibit genuine hand-drawn ink lines with varying pressure, visible paper texture under magnification, and period-appropriate backing materials.

Pair the piece with neutral walls to highlight the monochrome tones, or incorporate it into a curated gallery wall alongside modern abstract prints for contrast.

Keep the drawing away from direct sunlight to prevent paper yellowing and ink fading, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels behind UV-protective glass.
