Isabel Codrington was a British artist. She painted figures in watercolor and oils, and also produced miniatures. She came from an artistic family; her mother wrote and painted and her father was an amateur playwright. She entered the Royal Academy School of Art aged 15. She was best known for her paintings of Romani people and hawkers, and portraits of peasants. The extraordinary flowering of her work occurred at the time of the Great War when she secured a commission to paint the Cantine Franco-Britannique, Vitry-le-François (now in the Imperial War Museum, London) and simultaneously began to exhibit at the Royal Academy. By 1925, her work was being discussed in newspapers and reproduced in artistic monthlies. Morning is typical of Codrington’s work and highlights her mastery of light and shadow.
