拍品專文

Robert Burns's 1793 song, Thou Hast Left me Ever, Jamie is the mournful ballad of a forsaken lover. The present drawing was given by Bell Scott to his pupil and mistress Alice Boyd, at whose home, Penkill Castle, Ayrshire, he spent half of each year. Whilst Scott saw himself as a history painter, he also often took literary subjects, particularly Burns, as his inspiration.
