Footnote
Note: Born in Paisley in 1902, Jessie Dunlop studied at Glasgow School of Art and became a painter in oil of portraits and figure groups, which she exhibited mainly at Paisley Art Institute, but also at the Aberdeen Artists Society and the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA).
Whilst her portrait studies tend to be naturalistic, her figure compositions are Symbolist in approach and may be compared to the work of John Duncan and the artists of the Celtic Revival. The distinctive frames were made especially for this set of paintings.
