Isobel Lilian Gloag

There weren’t too many female Symbolist painters, but one that I’m rather fond of is Isobel Lilian Gloag (1868-1917). She’s all but forgotten now, but many of her paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy during her lifetime. Trained at the Slade, she also designed stained glass windows and posters.
