Specialist note

This is a very early work by Grant - he was sixteen but already passionate about painting and taking lessons at the Westminster School of Art. Several Scottish landscapes have survived from the very early years of the century, painted at and around The Doune, the Grant family home in Inverness-shire and in the Hebrides in 1903.

We are very grateful to Richard Shone for his assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
