Artist. Alice Marian Ellen Bale was born on 11 November 1875 at Richmond, Victoria. Bale was an Australian landscape and portrait artist. She studied painting at the National Gallery of Victoria School under Bernard Hall and Frederick McCubbin between 1895 and 1905. In the course of her studies she won nine major prizes and became a prominent member of the Victorian Artists Society and regular exhibitor with the Women’s Art Club (later the Melbourne Society of Women Painters). In 1902, she painted 'Leisure moments' one of the most famous Australian representations of an artist's studio which shows three women in what is assumed to be Bale's studio. During the 1930s she occasionally exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and at the Old Paris Salon. Alice Bale died in Victoria on 14 February 1955.
