Description: | This portrait of William Elphinsone, Bishop of Aberdeen, was painted in 1923 by the Scottish artist John B. Souter (1890-1972), copying the original portrait, probably by a Flemist artist and painted about 1505 (The University of Aberdeen). Souter carefully painted all the damage that he saw on the original panel, resulting in a fascinating trompe l'oeil record of the condition of the original portrait in 1923. | Subjects: | William portrait (Elphinstone Bishop of Aberdeen) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Souter, John Balloch (British artist, active 1920-1950) Æ Attributed to after Flemish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8615... | Go to resource |
