拍品專文

Sir James Hall of Dunglass, 4th Baronet FRS FRSE (1761–1832), was a Scottish geologist and geophysicist. Sir James was also the Member of Parliament for St. Michael's borough, Mitchell, Cornwall, 1807-1812.
Alexander Carse (c.1770-1843) was an assistant to David Allan before the artist's death in 1796, and undoubtedly received preliminary artistic training from him. In 1801, he attended the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh and during his time as a student Carse studied prints after Dutch art, and the influence of Dutch still lifes and genre paintings is evident in his work.
