Beschreibung:

The Dandelion Fairy, watercolour, depicting a fairy seated on a dandelion flower, being serenaded by four elf musicians, one with a bass drum, one with a concertina, a third with a bugle, and the fourth a singer, against a landscape of hills and a windmill, signed lower left, 28.5 x 20.5cm (11.25 x 8ins), mounted, framed and glazed Provenance: Purchased by the current owner approximately twenty years ago from a lady who bought the painting at the sale of effects of Mary Rice Oxley (1887-1965), sister of Margaret, in Shrewsbury in the mid 1960s. Curiously for such a fine watercolourist, little is known about the life and work of Margaret Rice Oxley. (1)
