Original Watercolour : Youthe
1940.
A large original watercolour on japon. 33cm x 41cm. 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 distance stand the hills of Arran. In very good condition indeed.
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 Exhibition, 1971 (item 80).
