Illustration Interest Original Watercolour By Patience Arnold 1901-1922 'The Fairies Visit A Witch' Patience Arnold was born in Royston Yorkshire but spent her childhood in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. Arnold studied at the Harris School of Art, Preston and became a member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Art. In 1967 Patience set up a studio in the Lake District and continued to produce unique and whimsical illustrations for books, greetings cards and private commissions which brought her national recognition. Our client's mother was a long term friend of Arnold's and many of the works presented here were commissioned privately and have remained in our clients private collection. The works have never been offered for sale commercially until now.

Loosely rendered in watercolour and outlined in pale umber and red watercolour. Signed by the artist 'Patience Arnold' in red watercolour to bottom left. Framed and mounted under glass. 9 x 13 inches
