EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wasp Sting" is a captivating and colourful painting by Margaret Mower White, circa 1930, depicting a dramatic scene at an Edwardian-era picnic. The center of attention is a lady, dressed in her finest, who has fainted after being stung by a wasp. Her face is etched with a look of pain and surprise, as she collapses onto the grass, surrounded by a group of concerned and gentlemanly onlookers. The scene is filled with a sense of drama and intrigue. A gentleman, with a look of alarm on his face, reaches out to help the fainting lady, while another, more composed, holds a smelling salts box, ready to revive her. The other ladies at the picnic, dressed in their elegant hats and dresses, watch the scene unfold with a mix of concern and fascination. The painting is a beautiful representation of the delicate balance between the elegant and the unexpected in Edwardian society. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer back in time to a simpler era. The wasp, perched on the edge of a picnic basket, serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the natural world, even in the most idyllic of settings. Margaret Mower White's "The Wasp Sting" is a stunning example of the art of the early 20th century, with its rich colours, intricate details, and captivating storytelling. It is a painting that invites the viewer to step into the scene and experience the drama and intrigue of an Edwardian picnic firsthand.
