Beatrice Olive Corfe painted a watercolour of a dining room around 1900. It shows a home in Winchester with old and new furniture mixed together. A bright rug covers the floor under fancy chairs. This was one of four drawings made to capture the rooms of Canon Valpy’s house. Corfe mostly drew buildings, not people. Next, look up the artist Corfe, Beatrice Olive.
