Par analogie avec la Titanide, puisqu'il s'agit d'une représentation non conforme à l'iconographie traditionnelle. C'est un dessin sans réf.. Je me suis juste laisser porter au gré des flots de l'inspiration. Le travail achevé, je lui ai trouvé quelques airs de néréide.

Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

Ida Sherbourne Outhwaite (1888-1960), illustrator, was born on 9 June 1888 at Carlton, Melbourne, second surviving child of Rev. John Laurence Rentoul and his wife Annie Isobel, née Rattray. Encouraged by her gifted literary and artistic family Ida drew prolifically from childhood, snatching time from her formal education at Presbyterian Ladies' College to contribute to magazines produced in the family home at Ormond College, University of Melbourne. Her talents complemented the literary ability of her elder sister, Annie Rattray (1882-1978) who was born on 22 September 1882. After a brilliant career at P.L.C., culminating in the classics exhibition, Annie took a first-class honours degree at the University of Melbourne (B.A., 1905), where she won the Wyselaskie scholarship in classics and shared the Higgins poetry prize.

In 1903 six fairy stories written by Annie and illustrated by Ida were published in the New Idea. Next year the sisters collaborated on Mollie's Bunyip which delighted the public with its representations of fairies and elves in a recognizably Australian setting. Mollie's Staircase, with text by Mrs Rentoul, appeared in 1906. At the Australian Exhibition of Women's Work in 1907 the Rentoul sisters displayed their Australian Songs for Young and Old, with music by Georgette, wife of Franklin Peterson. With its sequels of 1910 and 1913 it was 'the most Australian of all the Outhwaite publications'. That year Ida illustrated Tarella Quin's Gum Tree Brownie, using pen and ink, as in all her previous work, to depict her own stylized fairyland. In 1908 the Rentoul sisters published their first substantial story book, The Lady of the Blue Beads.
