History
Winifred Mabel Brunton (née Newberry) was a South African painter, illustrator and Egyptologist. She married Guy Brunton in 1906 and studied with him at University College London. She painted water colour illustrations of Egyptian works of art through his influence, using objects such as those found in Tutankhamun’s tomb. She made a series of illustrations for two popular books with chapters written by various authors, Kings and Queens of Ancient Egypt, 1926, and Great Ones of Ancient Egypt, 1929.
