“Depicting a cockerel in determined pursuit of a hen within a heart-shaped frame of vines, this is a humorous and charming love token, perhaps offering an an interpretation of the proverb ‘the cock croweth but the hen delivereth the egg’.

Wilhelm Lucas von Cranach (1861-1918) was an artist, interior decorator and highly individual designer of jewellery based in Berlin. His work relates closely to the Art Nouveau style prevalent in Paris and Brussels, and he exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Known for his jewelled serpents and winged creatures, this charming, domestic scene offers a more light-hearted aspect of his work.”

Portrait of Hazel Scott by Katherine Krizek

A child prodigy, Hazel Scott earned scholarships to the Juilliard School at the age of eight. By her teens, Ms. Scott was performing professionally with a jazz band. Her ability to move between genres and swing the classics in her performances was among the first of this kind of fusion.

Hazel Scott was the first African American to host her own TV show, though her show was cancelled after she stood up to Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Committee on Un-American activities. She moved to Paris in 1957 and did not return to the US until 1967. Ms. Scott fought against racial prejudice during her life and was one of the first performers to refuse to perform for segregated audiences.

"Who ever walked behind anyone to freedom? If we can't go hand in hand, I don't want to go."
