Details
RACKHAM, Arthur (1867-1939). "Spring," original watercolor, signed ("Arthur Rackham") lower left, c.1905.

An apparently unpublished allegory of springtime: a barefoot maiden trailing blossoms. This drawing does not appear to have ever been exhibited or published; some notes on the verso give it the title "Spring" and include the address of Primrose Hill Studios where Rackham lived from 1905-1906 and where he later leased studio space.

220 x 147mm, pencil and watercolor on illustration board (some toning and light spotting, signature faded). Matted, glazed and framed. Provenance: Mrs. Lucy Stephens, artist and fellow resident of Primrose Hill Studios (according to a typed label on the frame verso this picture was obtained from her descendant).
