SIR HENRY RAEBURN AND STUDIO (SCOTTISH 1756 - 1823), PORTRAIT OF THE FIDDLER NEIL GOW oil on canvas framed image size 123cm x 98cm, overall size 141cm x 115cm Provenance: Private Collection Canada till November 2021; Christies, 7th October 1949 Lot 171 as “Raeburn, Portrait of Neil Gow” (Christies Stencil Verso). Note 1: According to Raeburn expert David Mackie in his thesis on Henry Raeburn, the artist executed several versions of the painting of Neil Gow: 'The first listing of the versions Raeburn executed of this portrait was given by “Andrew, William Raeburn “Life of Sir Henry Raeburn, R.A” in 1886 (p. 124): One for the County Hall, Perth, which is now in Perth Art Gallery and Museum; one with the Duke of Atholl, which is still with that family; one with Lord Gray, (this may be the version which was recorded by the Photographic Survey as with the Honourable Mr Gray at Kinfauns, alternatively, it may be the version sold by the Earl of Moray at the Moray Sale, Sotheby's, 9 June 1932; to Hepburn); and one for William Maule, afterwards Lord Panmure, the present whereabouts of which is unknown. In addition to these versions Caw (Armstrong, p. 103) stated that one was in the collection of a Mrs Mackenzie; according to Caw, it was presented by the artist to the sitter; it was with the Erich Gallery, New York, in 1908; George G. Benjamin; his sale, American Art Association, 18 March 1913 (64); to Stuart Duncan; its present whereabouts is not known; a note in the Frick Art Reference Library (221 -10f) states that it had been cut down and that it was "repainted". Caw also listed a version in the collection of the Earl' Note 2: Neil Gow was the most famous Scottish fiddler of the eighteenth century. Gow received patronage from the Duke of Atholl, and it is believed that this was the result of Gow's performance in a musical competition, judged by John McCraw, a blind musician, who awarded Gow first prize, and stated that he "would ken his bow hand amoung a hunder(d) players". This patronage meant Gow secured performances for balls and dance parties put on by the local nobility, which would go on to make him a renowned musician and composer. Raeburn’s portrait of the same dimensions, of Neil Gow is currently on display at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, which is believed to be the autograph version of this work.

* SIR MUIRHEAD BONE HRSA (SCOTTISH 1876 - 1953), MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPE oil on board, signedframed image size 17cm x 22cm, overall size 29cm x 32cm Note: Bone was a Painter, draughtsman and etcher.

Moved to London 1901, having his first solo exhibition at the Carfax Gallery in 1903 and was a founder member of the Society of Twelve. Member of the New English Art Club and the Glasgow Art Club.

* ANNE REDPATH OBE RSA ARA (SCOTTISH 1895 - 1965), STILL LIFE WITH ASPIDISTRA oil on board, signedframedimage size 62cm x 52cm, overall size 80cm x 69cm Note: Of all the genres of fine art, Redpath is most closely associated with that of the still life. Her love for this theme stretches back to her student days at Edinburgh College of Art, as she recalled: “When I was at college I was very fond of still life. People said I wasn’t actually painting what was in front of me, that it was a vision of still life. Those were more impressionistic than I have ever done since, because I was terribly keen on light, high pitched light and shadow, and I used more of an accidental quality than I have ever done since. “Indeed, the first work which Redpath exhibited in public was titled Still Life and was displayed at the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) in 1919. Following her marriage in 1920 and fourteen years spent living in France, Redpath returned to Scotland in 1934. She resumed painting in earnest and emerged as an artist of importance. This was recognised by the first acquisition of one of her works for a public collection, when the RSA purchased the still life The Lace Cloth for £50 in 1944. Admiration for her still life’s soon spread to England; when the Sunday Times art critic Eric Newton reviewed the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) exhibition of 1948, he exclaimed ‘Anne Redpath’s still life’s stand out like patches of blue sky on a grey day.’ The following year, Redpath moved to Edinburgh where she set about decorating her new home with the objects she loved to collect and which were often the subject matter of her work.

GEORGE SMITH RSA (SCOTTISH 1870 - 1934), HORSES AT THE SEA oil on canvas, signedframedimage size 137cm x 198cm, overall size 143cm x 205cmNote: So far as we can ascertain, "Horses at the Sea" is the equal largest example of George Smith's work ever to be offered at auction. The dimensions of 137 x 198cm (approximately 54 x 78 inches) suggest that this picture was painted for a major exhibition. The only other example of these dimensions which we can identify was "Where Might is Right" Christie's 25.05.2007 lot 38 which sold for £6,600 (premium).Note 2: George Smith was born on 2nd February 1870 in Mid Calder, a village formerly in the county of Midlothian. He attended George Watson's Boys College in Edinburgh from October 1882 and his formal training as an artist commenced at The Trustees Academy (Edinburgh) in 1885. At the age of nineteen Smith travelled to Antwerp to train under Verlat at Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts d'Anvers. After returning to Edinburgh he enrolled at the Royal Scottish Academy Life School where his fellow students included Samuel J Peploe and Robert Brough. Smith won the Keith Prize (1894) for the best painting by a student of the Life School at the RSA Annual Exhibition. George Smith had his first painting accepted for the RSA Annual Exhibition in 1888 when he was only eighteen years of age and probably uniquely had at least one painting accepted every year for the rest of his life. A total of 122 entries were accepted at the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) until his death on 26th November 1934 and in 1935 a further five were exhibited. He also exhibited 87 paintings at the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI) between 1892 and 1935. His work was also exhibited at Royal Academy (London), in Liverpool at The Walker Art Gallery, at Manchester and at the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin. He also exhibited abroad including at Rome (1911) and at The Munich International Exhibition in 1912. In an issue of "The Studio" in 1908 it stated "in every important art centre from St Petersburg to Paris his work is favourably known". George Smith's considerable commercial success was probably why his style and subject matter of horses or cattle in association with man in a rural environment changed little during his career.

* DOROTHY JOHNSTONE ARSA (SCOTTISH 1892 - 1980), JEAN oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated '33 versoframed (frame loose)image size 111cm x 76cm, overall size 114cm x 79cmNote: Having been one of the first students at the newly-established Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), Johnstone began exhibiting at the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) in 1912, followed by the Royal Glasgow Institute in 1913 and at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1915. She focussed on figure painting, often on a sizeable scale. In recognition of her readily-achieved professional standing and due to the mobilisation of male staff following the outbreak of World War One, Johnstone began teaching at ECA in 1914. The studio facilities she enjoyed there, plus the stimulus provided by her students meant that her work developed apace. She spent most summers between 1915 and 1924 in Kirkcudbright, often staying in one of Jessie M. King's cottages, and became a key figure in the town's art circles. Meanwhile, in 1919 Johnstone joined the re-convened exhibiting society, the Edinburgh Group, whose members included Cecile Walton, Eric Robertson and David Macbeth Sutherland. A joint exhibition with Walton in 1924 led to the artists being described as 'two brilliant daughters of Scotland'. However, Johnstone's wedding to her ECA colleague David M Sutherland that year meant she had to resign her from her job, as the 'Marriage Bar' legislation prevented married women from holding full-time teaching positions. With the birth of her children and her husband's appointment as Head of Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, Johnstone's career lost momentum. She continued to paint as domestic responsibilites permitted and was elected an Associate Member of the RSA in 1962. Her death in 1980 was marked by a Memorial Exhibition mounted at Aberdeen Art Gallery in 1983.
