A BRIGHT FANTASY SCENE
61. Youthe KING, Jessie Marion [1875- 1949, Scottish]
1940. A large original watercolour on japon. 330mm x 410mm. Signed to the lower right hand corner, with the legend “Youthe” in Jessie’s distinctive lettering. A vibrant fantasy scene, where children dance with sprites accompanied by dryads playing lyres. A woodland setting with an abundance of flowers, rabbits and birds. In the dis - tance stand the hills of Arran. In very good condition indeed. [41006] £25,000 In 1941 Jessie M King wrote to the MacTaggart Lindsay’s to invite them to a show of her work. “ I have given your name and address for an invitation for Friday’s water-colour show at the Club and hope I may greet you there.” Keen collectors of Jessie’s work, the two families became close friends and regular correspondents. PROVENANCE: The MacTaggart Lindsay family, exhibited at the Scottish Arts Council Exhibi- tion, 1971 (item 80).
