Alice Boyd (British, 1823-1897) Galloway waterfall watercolour 44 x 34cm (17 x 13in) Provenance: Brought from Edinburgh to Sweden, and thence in a private collection In the mid-19th Century, Alice Boyd of Penkill Castle became involved in a romantic affair with the painter, William Bell Scott. Before long many of his artist friends such as Dante Gabriel Rosetti and William Morris visited, being inspired by the surroundings and the companionship of kindred spirits. William Bell Scott spent his time at Penkill, painting, amongst other works, a mural called `The King`s Quair`, which has become one of his best known works, around the walls of the spiral staircase. Alice invited many of Scott`s friends from the Pre-Raphaelite movement to the castle including Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Arthur Hughes, William Holman Hunt and William Morris (who is responsible for embroidered panels within the castle). Alice Boyd was one of the most interesting women artists in the Pre-Raphaelite circle, although she has inevitably been overshadowed by the figure of William Bell Scott. They met in Newcastle in 1859, when he was Head of the Government School of Design and she was looking for a painting tutor. Although Scott was married, he and Alice fell in love, and a ménage a trois was successfully established whereby Alice spent the winter with the Scotts in London (where they moved to in 1864) and they spent the summer with her at Penkill, her miniature Ayrshire castle. Christie`s held the Penkill house sale on 15 December 1992.
