This is a fine early print by the Scottish artist Jane Hyslop. She was born in Edinburgh 1967.
Jane Hyslop studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1985-1989. Her work is in many prominent public collections, including the Yale Centre for British Art, the Tate Gallery, the City Art Centre, Edinburgh, the Scottish Mining Museum, Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery, etc.
Jane Hyslop has a special interest in Artists' Books and Printmaking. She studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art between 1984 and 1990, She was the recipient of an RSA John Kinross Travel Scholarship in 1989. This print is an early work and it would date to her travels to the Continent and her representations of some of the architecture, topography and historical events that she encountered in Europe. These travelling scholarhips are not to be underestimated in their imporant in helping encourage Scottish creativity in a European context.
Jane Hyslop was a lecturer in art and illustration at the ECA (University of Edinburgh) until 2025. She was elected RSA in 2020.
This print dates to 1989 when Jane graduated with a BA in drawing in painting at the ECA, and then went on to study as a postgraduate for a further year. This work dates to this time and from a very small edition of only 20 impressions of this print. This is the second impression: No. 2.
La Petite France is a historic neighborhood in Strasbourg. It is well-loved by tourists and visitor who enjoy the cobblestone streets and an array of fabulous 16th century buildings. You can see that Jane has been fascinated with all the detail on the facade of this old building and has carefully delineated all the details of the old slates on the roof, the fancy window framed, texture on the stonework and the decorative arch at ground level. I easpeically love the little comic heads holding up the pillasters on the facade above the archway.
My linocut has a nice fresh acid-free window mount and new frame. It is excellent condition and ready just to hang on your wall. Dimensions. The frame is 35.5 x 27.5 cm. The image size is 19 x 14 cm. All this is reflected in my asking price - which is a very fair one for one of Hyslop's early linocuts and from such a same edition.
It will be carefully packed and sent to you across the UK with Royal Mail (Medium size) parcel. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
