Specialist note

Annie French was part of the 'Glasgow Girls' group of female artists who studied and worked in Glasgow between 1880 and 1920. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1886-9, and used a delicate, linear illustrative technique which recalls the work of Aubrey Beardsley in its imagination and fantasy.
