Original Description
Looking Heavenwards by Jessie Marion King (1875-1949) is an enchanting example of early 20th-century romantic illustration, embodying the delicate lyricism of the Glasgow Style. Painted with flowing, sinuous lines and soft washes of color, the work depicts an ethereal female figure gazing upward with dreamlike serenity, her flowing hair and drapery dissolving into intricate botanical motifs—a hallmark of King’s Art Nouveau-inspired aesthetic. Created during Scotland’s Arts and Crafts revival, the piece reflects King’s fascination with symbolism and medieval manuscript art, blending whimsy with spiritual yearning. As a leading female artist in the male-dominated Glasgow School, King’s work bridged fine art and decorative design, influencing book illustration and textile arts. Looking Heavenwards remains celebrated for its poetic grace, standing as a testament to King’s role in redefining narrative artistry beyond traditional canvas.
For a home or office, this piece thrives in spaces seeking serenity and a touch of whimsy. Ideal for a reading nook or bedroom, its muted palette—soft greens, ivories, and gold accents—pairs beautifully with earthy tones, linen fabrics, and warm wood finishes. Frame it in an ornate gilt or slender black frame to complement its intricate linework. A smaller print (around 40x50cm) suits intimate settings, while a larger format makes a statement above a desk or mantel. Pair with tapered candles, trailing plants, or Celtic-inspired textiles to echo its organic motifs. In workspaces, it softens modern minimalism, offering visual respite without overwhelming the room—proof that historic artistry harmonizes with contemporary design.
