SIR DAVID WILKIE, R.A. (CULTS, FIFE 1785-1841 GIBRALTAR)
Interior with figures by a window
oil on panel
6 3⁄8 x 5 3⁄4 in. (16.2 x 14.6 cm.)

This painting recalls the work of Adriaen van Ostade, a painter in whom Wilkie had long been interested. The specific inspiration for the scene may have been Ostade's Interior of a cottage (Royal Collection, Buckingham Palace), which he would have had an opportunity to examine when it was sold at Christie's on 12 June 1811, before being acquired by the Prince Regent for Carlton House.

Bought from the artist by General Sir Willoughby Gordon, 1st Bt. (1772-1851), on 8 January 1817, and by descent to his son,
Sir Henry Gordon, 2nd Bt. (1806-1876), and by descent to his daughter,
Mary Gordon (d. 1926) and her husband General Robert Disney Leith (1819-1892), and by descent in the family to their grandson,
Captain the Hon. John Disney Leith (1909-1968), and by inheritance to his wife,
Mona Leith (1910-1980); Phillips, Edinburgh, 7 November 1980, lot 91, where acquired by the following,
with The Fine Art Society, London, where acquired by the present owner.
