Our Grandmother

signed with monogram, and signed, inscribed on original label on reverse,
watercolour
17 x 11¾in. (43.2 x 29.8cm)

Possibly intended to represent one of Alice and Spencer Boyd's grandmothers, on either the Boyd or Losh sides of the family, but more likely an eighteenth-century costume piece of a type that Bell Scott also painted. The three dogs are a very characteristic touch.
