Footnotes

Exhibited
Possibly, The Paisley Art Institute, The Road to the Pier, Tarbert, 1926

Here we see the recurring model, most likely the artist's sister, Margaret. The composition is pleasing and in the Glasgow Boys manner, with areas of form and detail counterbalanced by a triangular expanse of the road.
