Edinburgh 1902' (lower right), 26.3 x 16.3 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK.

He was associated with The Glasgow Boys, having developed strong friendships with Sir James Guthrie (1859-1930), Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933), and William York Macgregor (1855-1923) whilst painting the landscapes of his native Dumfriesshire.

James Archer, RSA, Scottish 1823-1904- Portrait sketch of a young girl, seated, half-length, her blonde hair loose; oil on board, feigned tondo, signed with monogram and dated '1867' (lower right), 24.7 x 23.1 cm. Provenance: By repute, the family of Frank Holl (1845-1888). Private Collection, UK. Note: Archer was best known for his romanticised depictions of literary and historical scenes, typically set in the dramatic landscape of his native Scotland. Children often feature in Archer's paintings, imbuing his compositions with a sense of innocence and sweetness which is particularly evident in his painting of a young girl and her dog which sold at Sotheby's, Perthshire, on 1 September 2004 (lot 623) for £48,000. The present work is thought to have come from the family of Frank Holl, an artist who engraved a number of Archer's works, and the sitter was anecdotally believed to depict one of Holl's daughters.

Estim. 800 - 1 200 GBP

Note: In his early years, Pyne was a member of the Bristol School of artists and a close follower of Francis Danby (1793-1861). From 1835 onwards, he travelled extensively on the Continent and in Italy, gathering material to work up into finished pictures. The present view is one which Pyne depicted on various occasions, with a different version of the same scene, produced on a much smaller scale, held in the collection of Touchstones, Rochdale [717], where it is entitled 'Norwegian Scene'.
