Framed.
Note: Winifred McKenzie was a painter and wood engraver who studied at The Glasgow School of Art, and in 1932-33 studied wood engraving at The Grosvenor School of Modern Art under Iain Macnab. The School operated from Macnab's home at 33 Warwick Square, Pimlico, London and even though it only existed for 15 years, it did much to revive the interest in print making. Those artists now known as "The Grosvenor School" include Macnab, Claude Flight, Lill Tschudi, McKenzie, Cyril Power, Sybil Andrews and Dorrit Black. During the second world war McKenzie taught wood engraving to service men and women at St. Andrews University, and was part of the St. Andrews Group of Wood Engravers which included her sister Alison, Annabel Kidson and Jozef Sekalski. Her paintings rarely appear at auction.
