Margaret Maitland Howard was an accomplished and versatile English artist whose works spanned the early to mid-20th century. Known for her evocative and often mythologically inspired oil paintings, Howard’s work reflects a deep engagement with classical themes and her knowledge of nature, and the human form. She was also proficient working in watercolours and pastels and an accomplished sculptor.
Margaret, who was always known as “Marjorie” was born in Friern, Barnet, London on 31 July 1898, the daughter of artist and civil servant Henry James Howard. She grew up at Sutton, Surrey, where she spent most of her life. She spent many years living and working from St. Katherine’s, Malgrave Road, Sutton, Surrey.
She was educated privately, at the Byam Shaw and then attended the Vicat Cole School of Art, completing her studies at the Royal Academy Schools, where she won five silver medals and other awards. She was also the recipient of a British Institute scholarship and extension and won the 1926 prize for her portrait work at the National Welsh Eisteddfod in Swansea.
She exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy, showing at least ten works of classical and biblical themes at Summer Exhibitions between 1923 and 1935. She was one of the early group of women who painted nudes, a practice which was considered somewhat risqué and vulgar in the early twentieth century. She also exhibited at other leading galleries and in the provinces and consistently pursued her art despite the challenges posed by the societal norms of the time.
Howard had a significant professional career for a woman of her generation. Just after World War II she was appointed draughtsman to the Institute of Archaeology at London University where she worked from 1948 to 1960. This is now part of University College, London. Here, she worked as an illustrator and sculptor, creating models for Professor Frederick Zeuner to use in his lectures. She also illustrated one of his important books (Zeuner, F.E. Dating the Past, London: Methuen). She also created the bust of Gordon Childe, now in the Institute’s Library. After her retirement from the Institute of Archaeology she collaborated with Ian Wolfran Cornwall on his series of books about the prehistoric world.
In 1956, whilst working for the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, she moved to Balawat and supervised the archaeological work at the site of an ancient Assyrian city in northern Mesopotamia. She subsequently prepared drawings of the Balawat Gates, which was significant and technical work.
In addition to illustrating various books on ancient history and anthropology, Howard was also known as an illustrator of fictional books, producing an illustrated edition of the Fables of Aesop that was published by John Lane at The Bodley Head in 1926. She also illustrated Elizabeth Ward...

Henry Herbert La Thangue was born in Croydon in 1859. He first studied painting at the Lambeth School or Art, progressing to the Royal Academy of Arts between 1874-79. After receiving a gold medal for his work in 1879, La Thangue secured a prestigious three-year scholarship at the Parisian École des Beaux-Arts, in the studio if Jean-León Gerome. It was here at the École des Beaux-Arts that La Thangue was heavily influenced by the Barbizon school of open-air landscape painting a movement is characterised by tonal and soft genre scenes of village life, farms, and the landscapes of Barbizon in France.
Early in his career, La Thangue spent time painting on the coast of Brittany and in Donzère in the Rhone valley. Returning to England 1886, after becoming a member of the Royal Institute of Oil painters, La Thangue exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, The Royal Society of British Artists, and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. La Thangue’s interest in photography and photo-realistic depictions flourished in the late 1880’s, upon moving to South Walsham in Norfolk.
La Thangue’s two oil paintings, The Man with the Scythe and The Return of the Reapers both reflect La Thangue’s interest in photo-realism and have both been exhibited at the Tate, London. In the 1900’s, La Thangue spent time painting the landscapes of Provence, Liguria in Italy and the Balearic Islands of Mallorca, Ibiza, and Menorca.
La Thangue’s ‘Paddling amongst the bullrushes’ is an early work of La Thangue, perhaps a scene painted when the artist was working in France in 1883. This painting has undertones of French impressionism. This composition conveys La Thangue’s brilliant rendering of light. The golden hues of light, and yellow tone of the bullrushes create a hazy yet peaceful atmosphere. Later in his career, La Thangue was renowned for the use of dappled sunlight in his realistic rural scenes. It was noted that “Sunlight was a thing that attracted him”.
This is a beautiful example of La Thangue’s rural landscape painting, exhibiting a fabulously confident understanding of light.
La Thangue’s collection has been exhibited at distinguished galleries worldwide, including the Towner Gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts and various galleries in Manchester, Aberdeen, and Glasgow. La Thangue’s ‘In the Orchard...
