Description

Annie French, 
Scottish 1872-1965 - 

The Old Ballard of Edward Edward; 

pen and ink, watercolour and gouache on paper, signed lower right 'Annie French' and further inscribed on the backing board and with handwritten poem attached, 25 x 35.5 cm (ARR) 

Provenance: 
Christie's, London, British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings, 5th March 1998, lot 115; 
private collection, purchased from the above 

Note: 
this work is based on the traditional Ballad 'Edward' dating to the 17th century, in which a mother questions her son about the blood on his blade, the scene depicted here. 

Annie French was one of a vital group of artist that came to prominence in Scotland in the early 20th century, pioneering an Art Nouveau visual language that related to the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh. Like her friend Jessie M. King, French created highly ornate and florid scenes, often inspired by fairytales. A large number of her works are in public collections The Fleming Collection, Gallery Oldham and National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh.
