* Emslie (Rosalie, 1891-1977). Female nudes and flamingos, watercolour on paper, depicting two female nudes, one standing and stretching luxuriantly, the other prone and outstretched with her face buried in a cushion, a flamingo to the left reaching down its head to hers, and another flamingo standing on a wall to the right, signed lower left, 35 x 45 cm (13.75 x 17.75 ins), framed and glazed (Qty: 1)NOTESRosalie Emslie was born in London to artist parents: her father, Alfred Edward Emslie (himself the son and brother of artists), was a genre and portrait painter, whilst her mother Rosalie M. Emslie was a noted miniature painter. Study at the Royal Academy Schools between 1913 and 1918 followed a private education, after which she continued her artistic education through travels to Paris, Florence and Madrid. Emslie painted both landscapes and portraits, but it was her nudes which made an impression on her contemporaries, their directness and modernity breaking through into an art world which found them somewhat shocking. When she exhibited 'Comfort' at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto in 1927, a naturalistic, non-idealised image of a female nude curled up in a chair, it caused much public outrage.
