Description
ROBERT GEMMELL HUTCHISON RSA RBA ROI RSW (SCOTTISH 1855 - 1936), THE CRAB FISHER'S DAUGHTER
image size 17cm x 22cm, overall size 34cm x 40cm
oil on board, signed, titled label verso
framed and under glass
image size 17cm x 22cm, overall size 34cm x 40cm
Label verso: W. B. Simpson, Glasgow.
Note: The child depicted is very likely to be Jean, the daughter of Bertie (Roberta), the artist's daughter, and his only granddaughter. Jean was deaf and mute and as a child featured in many of her grandfather's paintings. Gemmell Hutchison was devoted to his granddaughter and they spent much time together, especially on painting trips to nearby St Abbs. Bertie and Jean's home was in the beautiful coastal village of Coldingham (Berwickshire, Scottish Borders) where Gemmell Hutchison visited frequently. He eventually died there on 23rd August 1936. He was buried at the Dean Cemetery (Edinburgh) on one of the long curving paths to the southwest. His portrait is sculpted on the memorial by John Stevenson Rhind. Robert Gemmell Hutchison achieved wide acclaim and commercial success throughout his life and the collector enthusiasm for his paintings has never dimmed. In recent years, the very finest larger examples of his work have sold at auction for figures exceeding £100,000.
