Item Details
So far, Ms. Howarth has proven to be quite an enigmatic figure for me. I’ve learned that she was born in 1921 and died in 2018. Everyone says she was a popular artist, but little more than that. It is said that she lived in the south of England, that she may have been a member of the Pastel Society, and that she exhibited paintings at local galleries. She has an auction record that shows she worked in pastel, pencil, charcoal and watercolor painting detailed and expressive depictions of farm and other animals, including cows, pigs, dogs, horses, foxes and cats. In any case, all the several works of hers that I have seen show her alignment with traditional British realism and a close observation of animals in their natural or domestic settings.
This charming and sensitively done depiction of a rabbit sitting in a bare suggestion of a garden was done in a naturalistic style that seems from an earlier age. There is much detail to the painting of the head and fur. The eyes are lifelike and seem to be staring back at the viewer. He looks just like those you will find in your or your neighbor’s vegetable patch. Howarth chose the naturalistic colors of a hare. It is signed below the rabbit.
It is framed with a double mat and a simple wood and gilded frame that suits the character of the painting well. There is an original label on the back that says: “Wild Rabbit, Nora Howarth.”
It is in excellent condition.
It measures 16-1/8 inches wide by 12-7/8 inches high, including the frame.

Shipping, Handling, Insurance Policy
Shipping costs seem to be rising dramatically of late. However, we cannot lower our standards. We will always take the utmost care to make sure your items are packed well. If need be, we will have a special wooden crate built for them at additional cost to the customer. We feel it is best to have all items insured. Our shipping costs include insurance, handling fees and any required professional packing, along with USPS/FedEx charges. All framed needlework and paintings, as well as other especially fragile items, will be professionally packed by a third party.Please allow 3 to 5 days from receipt of your payment for us to properly pack and ship your item. Let us know if you have a special shipping request. We will try our best to make sure you get your piece for that special occasion.
It is our policy to not allow purchasers to use their own FedEx/UPS, etc. account numbers.
Please note: Due to the fact that shipping services will calculate the size based on the next increment (for example: 6-1/4" measurement is regarded by UPS as 7"), it is sometimes difficult to obtain the exact weight and size of an item until fully packed and taken to a shipping facility, especially larger items. Also, we have found that shipping services charge much more when a box exceeds certain parameters; sometimes this may be just a 1/2" over our calculations. These extra charges are especially true for longer distances. Therefore, please use the calculated shipping charges as a guide. However, we retain the right to adjust the shipping at time of shipment and buyer will be responsible for the adjusted price.
If for any reason the buyer cancels a sale, buyer will be responsible for a 30% restocking fee plus reimbursement of packing costs seller has already incurred.
