Diana and her Nymphs (1926) — Collector’s Edition
This richly decorative panel by :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} captures the exuberant spirit of 1920s design, presenting the Roman goddess Diana and her nymphs within an exotic, jungle-like setting. Vibrant colour, gilded patterning, and rhythmic movement animate the composition, while wild birds and leopards allude to Diana’s role as goddess of the hunt.
Originally created as part of the ambitious interior decoration for Crawford’s Tea Rooms on Princes Street, Edinburgh, the panel exemplifies Burns’s extraordinary scope as a designer. From murals to furnishings, he oversaw every detail of the space, producing one of Scotland’s most distinctive Art Deco–era interiors.
