*Garrow (Jessie Isabel (1899-1993)). Pierrot mourning the young girl, 1921, watercolour, heightened with bodycolour, showing Pierrot sitting on a flagstone floor beside a prostrate young girl, clutching his chest and gazing heavenward, the pair dwarfed by a huge stone archway on columns entwined with white clematis, with a flame burning in a tall brazier beside them before a tasselled curtain, signed and dated lower right, 55.5 x 30.5cm (21.75 x 12ins) Scottish artist Jessie Garrow is principally known for her colour woodcut 'The Wave' (published in The Studio in 1924). She studied at Glasgow School of Art where she met fellow artist and future husband Ian Cheyne. Garrow went on to make her living as a fashion illustrator and writer, as well as illustrating books. She is known to have exhibited at Glasgow Insitute of Fine Arts and the Scottish Royal Academy, and yet she seems to have left little work behind her. It is said that in the 1980s, when she sold what was left of the work from her husband's studio, she had not a single piece of her own work left to offer. This striking and technically accomplished watercolour appears to depict a scene from the pantomime ballet 'Papillons' by Michel Fokine, first performed at the Theatre de Monte-Carlo in 1914 by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, with costumes designed by Leon Bakst. In the opening scene Pierrot sees a group of dancing girls with wings attached to their shoulders, and believing them to be butterflies, tries to attract them with a candle flame. He succeeds in capturing one, but he is so rough with her that her wings break and she falls down dead. Her companions come back to help, they re-attach her wings, and she comes back to life. (1)
