Brickdale, Eleanor Fortescue "Following the Queen of the Gypsies, Oh!": watercolor on board, signedwith initials, lower right n.p, n.d. [ca. 1915] A splendid, colorful rendering, probably for The Book of Old English Songs andBallads, 1915. Eleanor Brickdale (1871-1945) studied at the Crystal Palace School of Art, the Royal Academy schools, and was a pupil of Byam Shaw; she exhibited at the R.A. from 1896. Notes Houfe, "She represents the last phase of Pre-Raphaelitism, her highly detailed and meaningful little pictures are crammed with medievalism and moral sentiment. She was the ideal illustrator of legend...where her bright colours and haughty figures were set off to advantage...She was also a talented stained glass artist and designed windows for Bristol Cathedral." Image 14-5/8 x 8-3/4 inches; glazed and framed (some frame losses) to 24- 3/4 x 19 inches. . .
