On 14 April 1886 Maggie Laubser was born on Bloublommetjieskloof farm in the district of Malmesbury in the Cape Colony. In 1903, at the impressionable age of 17 she visited Cape Town and its cultural life inspired artistic ambitions, she studied art briefly under Edward Roworth. Laubser was elected a member of the South African Society of Artists (SASA) in 1907, long before she became a noted modernist. Her first recorded participation on a SASA related exhibition was in a joint show with the SAFAA in 1910, when she entered a work entitled Hibiscus, on offer at 3 guineas. Around 1912 Laubser visited Pretoria and subsequently moved to the Transvaal, taking a job as a governess on a farm for a short while, she later taught at Ermelo. Laubsers early strikingly coloured paintings portrayed the landscapes, rural workers, animals and flowers of the Malmesbury area where she grew up.
