Description: | 110.7 x 98.1 x 7.0 s. b. l. "E. A. Hornel / 1901"; Aitken & Dott label on verso CRE HORNEL, Edward Atkinson; (Scottish; 1864-1933) In its original frame, a Scottish 19th century gilded frame with reeded mouldings. It is the companion picture to "Wounded Peacock"[also dated 1901?]. LABEL In the late 1890s, Hornel responded to criticism of his work and developed more acceptable large, picturesque compositions of young girls in landscape settings. The faces and hands of the girls are carefully delineated and smoothly painted to contrast with the texture of the landscape in which they sit. This fine example gives an uncharacteristic sense of receding space. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | FIGURE : GIRL : CHILD : LANDSCAPE : WOOD : CHILDHOOD : FLOWER : GLASGOW BOY : DECORATIVE : : GEORGE SMITH GIFT/BEQUEST : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
