Surprised I haven’t got round to doing this before, but there are six images of otherwise unknown works in photographs of the 1923 exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery, Paintings by Mrs. Swynnerton, A.R.A.

They are:

• A Swell on the Water.
• Christmas Eve, Siena.
• Portrait of John Lambton.
• The Cumean Sibyl, Guarding the Secret of the Tomb.
• Miss Craies.
• The Rock Pool, Capri.

They’ve had their perspective computer rectified and processed to give as much clarity as possible. Miss Craies and The Rock Pool, Capri are particularly poor quality, but these images should help recognise the works should they reappear at auction or in private collections.

I had assumed Miss Craies was the already known Portrait of Agathonike Sabina Craies, but it now appears to be something different, a woman in profile?
