Ellen Ladell British, (1853-1912) Still Life of Fruit & Exotic Birds Oil on canvas laid on board, signed Image size: 17.5 inches x 13.5 inches Size including frame: 24.75 inches x 20.75 inches Provenance: Sotheby’s The British Sale, 2003, lot 256 A beautifully painted still life of fruit with a glass dome and taxidermy birds by Ellen Ladell.
