Signed and dated MCMIII (1903); 22½ × 34 ins
Provenance: By direct descent to the artist’s grandson
Bulleid was born in Glastonbury, the son of a solicitor. He studied at the West
London School of Art and Heatherley’s Art School in Chelsea. He shared a studio
with the painters John William Godward and Henry Ryland and between them they
became exponents of the Classicist or Graeco-Roman style of painting. Bulleid
painted principally in watercolour in a highly finished manner, exhibiting his work
at both the Royal Academy and Royal Watercolour Society. The Annunciation is
untypical of the subject matter of the artist but the painting was important to him,
he choose to keep it throughout his lifetime, leaving it to his children on his death.
Beautiful!I love how the clarity and brilliance of the angel stands out from the softness of the rest of the painting. Very nice.

He was new to me, yet only lived about 20 miles away. I love it when something new like that comes my way.
