Original Description
The exquisite watercolour fan "A Midsummer Night's Dream - I Know A Bank Whereon The Wild Thyme Grows..." by Linnie Watt (1865-1950) transports viewers into Shakespeare's magical forest through its delicate silk surface. Measuring an elegant 13 x 54.5 cm, this monogrammed work perfectly captures the Romantic Pre-Raphaelite fascination with literary themes and nature's delicate beauty. Watt, trained at the prestigious Glasgow School of Art, demonstrates masterful craftsmanship in her fluid brushwork and luminous color palette that seems to glow from within the translucent silk support. The elongated fan shape references Victorian decorative arts traditions while showcasing Watt's distinctive lyrical style that bridged Arts and Crafts aesthetics with emerging Art Nouveau sensibilities. Historically significant, such works represent Britain's golden age of decorative fan painting (1880-1910), when artists transformed functional objects into standalone artworks that adorned elite drawing rooms.
For contemporary interiors, this jewel-toned fan deserves pride of place in transitional spaces blending classic and modern aesthetics. Consider mounting it horizontally in a bespoke shadow box above a Regency-style console in an entryway, where its vertical orientation creates striking contrast with furniture lines. The lush greens and floral motifs would harmonize beautifully with Farrow & Ball's muted "Salon Drab" walls or Schumacher's botanical wallpapers. In a home office, position it near French windows where natural light illuminates its translucent qualities, pairing with Georgian-style brass reading lamps and velvet-upholstered bergère chairs. Given its intimate scale, this work shines best when displayed at eye level in smaller rooms where viewers can appreciate its intricate details - perhaps flanked by miniature portrait miniatures or placed above a delicate escritoire to create a curated Victorian-inspired vignette.
