Edgar Bundy ARA RI RBA, A Country Cousin

Edgar Bundy ARA RI RBA, A Country CousinThis witty early 20th century oil painting by British artist Edgar Bundy ARA RI RBA (1862 1922) depicts a young country woman visiting the home of her wealthy relatives, to much dismay. It was shown at the Royal Academy in 1903. Bundy was a distinguished painter of genre scenes and a member of the Royal Society of British Artists.
