Description: | RH s.d. in plate b.r. "DW 1819"; inscr. in pencil b.l. "86 / CDII IV Reading the Will"; inscr. in pencil b.r. "A46552" CRE WILKIE, David, Sir; (Scottish; 1785-1841) PUB WILKIE, David, Sir; (Scottish; 1785-1841) State IV; part of the set of 7 etchings published by Wilkie in 1824. It would be a study for the picture bearing the same title and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1820, with a quotation from "the author of Waverley". The subject was first suggested by the actor Jack Bannister, but was based on Walter Scott, especially on the events at the funeral of lady Singleside in "Guy Mannering", from which however it came to diverge in many particulars. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | FIGURE : FEMALE : INTERIOR : MALE : GENRE : DEATH : STUDY : LITERATURE : BURNS : SCOTTISH 19TH CENTURY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
