Description

A Jackie Giron figural group modern, of the Queen of Hearts, berating her errant knave, the front of her skirt emblazoned with a lion, both standing on a rectangular base, 25cm across.

Provenance: from the collection of Sister Wendy Beckett. This piece came from a competition to illustrate nursery rhymes, of which Sister Wendy was one of the judges. She was struck by "the gawky and self-conscious guilt of the charming knave".
