Annie French, Scottish 1872-1965 - Prehistoric Scouting Party; etching on paper, signed and titled in the plate 'Annie French Prehistoric Scouting Party', 20.3 x 31.3 cm (ARR) Provenance: The Estate of John Byrne (1945-2025) Note: French studied under Francis Newbery (1855-1946) and Jean Delville (1867-1953) at the Glasgow School of Art, which she attended between 1886-89. It was here that she was associated with a group of pioneering female artists and designers, including Jessie M. King (1875-1949), Frances MacDonald (1873-1921), and Ann Macbeth (1875-1948), who later became known as the 'Glasgow Girls'. French is known for her distinctive illustrations which are clearly heavily inspired by the Art Nouveau movement, with swirling, dense, and highly graphic compositions which exhibit the influence, in particular, of her contemporary Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898).
