Emily Stannard RI (1875–1906) was an English painter, primarily of watercolours.[note 1] Her professional career was short lasting from 1896 to her early death in 1906. She is known for her rural landscapes of her native Bedfordshire which are in the tradition of Victorian romanticism and naturalism. One of five children of the sporting painter Henry Stannard (1844-1920), all of whom painted Emily Stannard was especially adept at capturing the beauty and solitude of the Bedfordshire countryside.[1] She exhibited seven watercolours at the Royal Academy of Arts in London between 1900 and 1903.[2]
