Alice Renshaw was an accomplished professional English artist, born around 1850. Although she painted both landscapes and portraits, she is best known for her half portraits of beautiful young women, especially in fancy hats.
Alice married Robert Pullman and they lived at Limerston Street, Chelsea, London. Her work was exhibited in major galleries between 1881 and 1892. She died in Fulham in 1900, aged only 50.

This exquisite work, entitled Primavera, is an original painting by English artist Alice Anne Renshaw (1849–1900). Executed in a delicate combination of watercolour, gouache, and pastel on artist’s board, the piece is signed by the artist in the centre right section.
The composition portrays a young woman adorned with springtime flowers in her hair, embodying the spirit of renewal and beauty associated with the season of spring. A garland of vibrant blue, yellow, and white blossoms crowns her long, flowing curls, while a matching posy rests at her bodice. The sitter’s serene expression and luminous complexion are rendered with remarkable sensitivity, highlighting Renshaw’s mastery of texture, light, and detail.
Alice Anne Renshaw was a talented late-Victorian artist, celebrated for her portraits and idealised female figures. Primavera exemplifies her refined style, blending the romanticism of the era with a soft, atmospheric palette. Collectors of 19th-century English art and enthusiasts of Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic portraiture will appreciate this painting’s timeless elegance and charm.
