A Glasgow artist and sculptor, regarded as one of the last living links with the Art Nouveau movement, celebrates her 100th birthday this weekend.
Hannah Frank's work, spanning a 75-year career, will be displayed in an exhibition at Glasgow University.
She studied there and at the city's School of Art and continued to produce sculpture into her early 90s.
Seventeen "lost" drawings by her were discovered in a loft just before the opening of the centenary exhibition.
Ms Frank, who took up sculpture in the 1950s, became known for her haunting black and white drawings which have echoes of the Art Nouveau period.
Her family fled persecution in Russia in the early years of the 20th century and settled in Glasgow.
She paid her way through art school by working in her father's photographic shop in the city's Saltmarket.
'Art for people'
The artist's niece, Fiona Frank, has been editing her aunt's diaries from her younger years.
She said: "My aunt is easily as excited as I am about the forthcoming exhibition and her 100th birthday."
Hannah Frank herself once famously said: "If you're an artist, you do it for people, so that people will admire it, so it's no use if it's kept in a dungeon and nobody ever sees it.
"You hope that people will see it and think you're wonderful."
The exhibition, which runs from 23 August - 11 October, is being held in the Glasgow University Chapel.
