Lot Essay

Rae stayed with the Goodisons at Ardtornish in Scotland in 1994, when she painted the Peach House. Sir Nicholas Goodison commented: ‘When Richard Carew Pole, to whom I introduced her, visited her studio she showed him many of her watercolours. “Of course, Sir Nicholas has the best one” she said’.
