Passing down through the generations in my Mum’s side of my family is a lovely framed print of what we have always called the Penny A Bunch Painting.     With the passing of my parents it was a lovely surprise to find I am now custodian of the family print.

This print would be around 114years old, 
by the British artist G E Hicks. 

Depicts a pretty girl with blue eyes selling her violets. 
It is signed by GE Hicks 99. 
It was painted in Launceston Tasmania, Hicks met this child on a casual trip and was enchanted with her…and asked to paint her.
