European painter, pictures of fossil excavations from a cliff on a shoreline, mid-1800s. I want to say that this person was female and also involved in the excavation itself, but I may be getting my wires crossed. (edit--Turns out I had my wires crossed--I was thinking THERE of Mary Ann Mantell, who discovered Iguanodon teeth, but she didn't do pictures of dig sites.)
I remember the style being rather pastel with lots of blue, and kind of sketchy-looking.
I looked up "fossil wall painting" but only found stuff about cave paintings, and "fossil paintings" which gave me stuff about painters in Fossil, Oregon.
