Description: | The graceful, gently curving lines of this picture are characteristic of the style of the Glasgow School of Art. Francis Newbery (known as Fra) was Head of the Glasgow School of Art from 1885 to 1918, and was an influential teacher. His wife Jessie Newbery taught embroidery at the School. She designed and owned the distinctive dress worn by the model in this picture. The dress was made of cut velvet in black on a jade-green ground. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement art designers women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
