Jowett was a Yorkshire born artist who studied at Leeds and the Royal College of Art
where he won the Prix de Rome, taking him to Italy. He spent much of his life
teaching art and worked with a number of influential figures including Henry
Moore and Gilbert Spencer. He exhibited widely including two solo shows at the
Fine Art Society in the 1920s.
This is beautiful...Is it his rendition of "The Anunciation"?

I believe so, though I couldn't find much about it. It was certainly a popular theme at the time. I wonder if they made Angel dolls? Watched Miss Potter last night and thought that was rather wonderful. I lived in the Lake District for some years.
ReplyDeleteMiss Potter was charming...Didn't you just loved the clever animation?
ReplyDeleteThere are angel "creche" figures, although they are not considered dolls for the collector. I have a whole post on Nativity/Creche figures on one of my earlier posts, ( Jan. or Feb.) you may like to check it out. There are some wonderful pictures.
