Old family friend of my my parents a woman called Mrs Smith we lived in a tourament building so she had this hanging in the wall of a tenant building in Glasgow and my parents took care of her um for about 40 years and when she died she left that to them what makes
This painting really interesting is that I think it’s from the arguably best decade of his career which is the 1890s what made the 1890s special is that it was very shortly after Hornell trip to Japan we have this lovely little upright format close cropping and very decorative painting also it has this
