Gouache and ink on paper (design for a silk scarf). Circa 1950’s
A charming hand-painted design for a scarf, centred on a stylised female musician playing a lute amid an ornamental garden of intertwining flowers, birds, and fluttering butterflies. Finney’s crisp ink outlines and bright gouache palette recall mid-century decorative design, combining lyricism with rhythmic patterning.
