專家說明

The tall gabled building depicted in the present watercolour closely resembles that of Sunnyside House, Montrose Royal Lunatic Asylum where Doyle was committed. He was later moved to Crighton Institute in Dumfries where he died of epilepsy. There is a related watercolor showing the same building with the spirits in M. Baker, The Doyle Diary, The Last Great Conan Doyle Mystery, London, 1978, p. 75.
