Bows, beads, and birds

Frances MacDonald MacNair
Bows, beads, and bows
Date: unknown
Art Nouveau ("Glasgow Style")- Scotland

Frances MacDonald along with her husband, sister, and brother-in-law (all artists) became known at the Glasgow School as "The Four." Frances is known for her watercolor/pencil artwork, but also did interior design and other forms of art with her husband.

Personally, I like this piece because of the muted tones and simplicity of the sketch. I like how each figure interacts with the others.
