Mariquita Jenny Moberly RI , née Phillips, (2 November 1855 – 1 November 1937) was an English artist, working in oil paints and watercolours.[2][3]
Biography[edit]
Moberly was born on 2 November 1855[4] to John Phillips and Jane Atkins Phillips at Deptford in London.[5] Her name, mariquita, (literally, "Little Mary") means ladybird in Spanish.[6][self-published source]
Moberly studied in Germany and under Carolus-Duran in Paris.[7][8] She painted portraits, figure studies, animals and landscapes in oils, watercolours and pastels.[7][8] Moberly exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, with the New Watercolour Society and at both the Royal Hibernian Academy and the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol.[7] She lived in Epsom, and later Mitcham.[3]
In March 2013, a number of her watercolour paintings, in private possession, of a variety of subjects, were shown in the BBC television programme Antiques Roadshow.[3] These included a 1918 self-portrait and a picture of a dog that reputedly belonged to Ernest Shackleton, along with photographs of her paintings of dogs known to be his.[3]
Her works are in a number of public collections, including The Secret Path in the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum.[9]
She died in Mitcham, Surrey, on 1 November 1937, one day before her 82nd birthday.[10]
