Maria Harriett Mathias
Maria Harriett Mathias is a British Romanticism artist. 10 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Maria Harriet Mathias painted delicate watercolors of the Middle East in 1857. The five works in this set show views from Egypt and Lebanon—Edfoo’s temple walls, cedar groves, a boat trip near Asouan, the skyline of Beirut, and cliffs between Asouan and Elephantine. Each sheet is small, crisp, and full of fine brushwork. Want to step into the artist’s sketchbook? Tap “Edfoo” to see the temple rise from the page.
