Description

An incredible work of art from one of the most important artists/illustrators of the 20th century: Mabel Lucie Attwell. This is an original work by this artist — not a print or a copy — and it is typical of her iconic style, depicting a young child with her rag doll/ puppet and two animated pixies. It is in pen and ink on board, with numerous artist's tiny alterations and corrections, and is signed in the bottom left hand corner with her instantly recognisable highly stylised signature. Mabel Lucie Attwell, born 1879, enjoyed a hugely successful career with highlights including being an illustrator to Lewis Carroll (in Alice in Wonderland), JM Barrie, and Hans Christian Andersen. This example dates from c.1925 - c.1950 and is in its original frame which retains the original gently undulating glass plate. The overall size is 38 x 47cms. The size of the image itself is 23 x 32cms. A beautiful, charming image, and a fine investment.
