Winifred Mabel Brunton née Newberry (6 May 1880 – 29 January 1959[1]) was a South African painter, illustrator and Egyptologist.

Her father, Charles Newberry, a millionaire who made his money in Kimberly, was the builder of Prynnsberg Estate.

At UCL they trained with Margaret Murray,[3] before travelling to Lahun in Egypt to join Flinders Petrie for fieldwork in 1912–14.

[4] Working with her husband on the archaeological digs, she studied the evidence of the various painting, sculptures and even the mummies to develop her final portraits.

Her portraits have been hugely influential and defined the faces of the Pharaohs and the Queens in Popular culture and have been adopted in many films and documentaries.
