Anrid Baniza Johnson was born in Sweden to an English father and a Swedish mother.  She was an animalier and painted many works for the major zoos during the 1930's and 1940's.  She also wrote and illustrated many children's books, and had her own television programme discussing and exhibiting her art.  This picture is an extremely rare find and other than the occasional poster for a zoo, there doesn't seem to be any other examples of her work.  In original condition, which is good, the frame is also original to the work.
