Lot Essay

Included in the lot are three signed letters and a receipt on headed note paper from Joseph Farquharson relating to the purchase of the picture.
Farquharson studied with the landscape painter Peter Graham before enrolling at the Trustee's Academy and the R.S.A. life class. From 1880 he spent three or four winters in Paris at the atelier of Carolus-Duran and exhibited at the Salon.
The subject of the present picture is the garden at Finzean, his Aberdeenshire family home in the Dee Valley, a subject that became a recurrent source of inspiration from 1916 onwards.
