Printmaker and painter, often on linen and silk. Born at Epping, Essex, the daughter of the artist Lucien Pissarro and grand-daughter of Camille Pissarro, Orovida studied with her father. In 1914 in France she started experimenting with etching, then on return to England “bought a press and a book on the technique of etching and set to work”. A big exhibition of Chinese painting in 1914 left an indelible impression, and some of Orovida’s most memorable etchings are of Oriental subjects, especially animals. She exhibited at the RA, RBA and had one-man shows in London and North America. In 1969 the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, held a memorial show of her etchings, paintings and drawings and published a catalogue of her etchings and aquatints.
