Description: | RU None CRE WHISTLER, Beatrix; (English; 1857-1896) As an independent designer, Beatrix Whistler specialised in colourful sprays of flowers, berries and birds. Sketches would be worked up into designs for decorative panels, or tiles. This sketch is made up of the slightest of marks in delicate pastel, a far more gestural fashion than her earlier, detailed pencil drawings of flowers (see GLAHA 46484, 47490). Blossom is a popular and significant subject in Japanese art, and Beatrix Whistler's style in this drawing could also have been influenced by the simplicity of Japanese design. In a list accompanying the Birnie Philip Bequest, 1958, this is called 'Apple Blossom'.
