Description: | 96.0 x 82.5 CRE COCHRANE, William; (Scottish; 1738-1785) The sitter is Anna Johnstone, daughter of the Rev William Johnstone minister of Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, "a woman of great mental endowments, whose society he had the happiness to enjoy for a period of forty-six years. The intelligent, varied and lively conversation of Mrs Cullen and her agreeable and fascinating manners, were, like those of her husband, the admiration and delight of all who were admitted into their family circle. She became the mother of seven sons and four daughters, several of whom inherited, in a remarkable degree, the talents and accomplishments by which both parents were distinguished" [John Thomson "An Account of the Life, Lectures and Writings of William Cullen" ed. 1859, pp16,17.] This was probably painted as a companion piece to a portrait of William Cullen now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery | 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: | PORTRAIT : HALF LENGTH : FEMALE : BOOK : FOULIS ACADEMY STUDENT : MG1 2007 : | 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 |
