Harbour with Mountainous Landscape

In the manner of Francis Hodgkins 1869 - 1947, was a New Zealand born painter and teacher of art. She was a strong colorist of art and painted in a somewhat abstract simple manner that was deemed a modernist in her day, and she is considered one of New Zealand's most influential painters, however it is her European works that are most desirable and where her reputation lies. She exhibited in Christchurch and Dunedin in the late 19th Century and the Royal College of Art in London. She travelled widely visiting Morocco, England, France, Ibiza, and many more locations, there is a great deal of information throughout the internet on Francis Hodgkins and it would be a dis-service to her ability and reputation to pursue a brief biography here. However this painting is in the manner of Hodgkins despite being signed and in our humble opinion it is not by the artist herself but perhaps a follower or another artist within her own circle of painters.
