This is the unique original Gouache painting by John Keay.

A black man rescues a little girl from drowning in the Mississippi River, with a paddle steamer in the background. A riverboat gambler looks on. Possibly an incident in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Wonderful facial expressions.

This is the original artwork by John Keay published in Look and Learn Magazine 14/06/80.
  • Artist Biography
    John R Keay; UK
    Artist who contributed to the 'This Made Headlines' and 'Dateline' series which appeared on the inside front cover of Look and Learn in the late 1970s.

    Keay had a highly distinctive style, achieving an unusual smoothness of texture in his illustrations, both in colour and black and white. He usually signed his pictures “Keay”. Keay was represented by John Martin & Artists and also illustrated books, including Kings of Israel by David Kent (1981).

    John Keay is not to be mistaken for Jack Keay (qv) who also contributed to Look and Learn.
