KING (JESSIE M.)
Footnotes
Unusual panel painting of "The Frog Prince", produced for an exhibition of Contemporary Art for the Nursery held at the Musée Galleria, Paris in 1913, in which King was invited to create an interior to create her "own vision of a child's world. Jessie was given a bay some three metres long set against a window and in it she built up a section of a day nursery.... [including] a large central panel in stained glass... and, beneath these, fixed four panels in tempera on wood of scenes from The Frog Prince. She painted the remainder of the area white and, along the whole wall, assembled a unit of fitted furniture..." (Colin White).
Literature: Colin White, The Enchanted World of Jessie M. King, 1989, p.89 (illustrated in situ, the present painting being the third panel in the series) and p.92.
