Description: | 78.0 x 67 oval CRE PINE, Robert Edge; (English; 1730-1788) The family of the sitter, James Baillie, was close to our founder's family. In 1758, Baillie had become Minister of Hamilton and Bothwell, and married William Hunter's sister Dorothea. With Hunter's help, he became Professor of Divinity at Glasgow University in 1775. This portrait may have been commissioned to commemorate his marriage to Dorothea, and was in Hunter's collection in London in the 1770s. According to a letter to Hunter, Pine cut it down from an original rectangular shape to its present oval size himself. | 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 : FIGURE : MALE : GLASGOW UNIVERSITY : HUNTER 2007 : PROFESSOR : 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 |
