Iona M Hodson (Scottish 1897-198?) Watercolour Jacaranda Trees with Pergola Framed 44cm H 39cm W

THIS LISTING IS FOR A VINTAGE WATERCOLOUR PAINTING BY BRITISH ARTIST IONA M HODSON (1897-198?). IT IS A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL WATERCOLOUR PAINTING WITH JACARANDA TREES AND A GARDEN PERGOLA. SIGNED IONA M HODSON IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS LONA BUT THE I (i) IS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR AN L.
 
I THINK THIS PAINTING DEPICTS THE PERGOLA AND JACARANDA TREES IN THE MELROSE HOUSE GARDEN IN PRETORIA. Melrose House is a popular tourist facility which is known for its historical connection as the British headquarters during the Anglo-Boer War.
