Description: | IU Signed and dated b.r. "Elizabeth Blackadder 1988" CRE BLACKADDER, Elizabeth; (Scottish; b. 1931) NFA assisted purchase. The drawing is a study for the painting in the National Portrait Gallery, London (NPG 6045). Naomi Mitchison (1897-1999) was a novelist and poet, and she
is remembered in the University of Glasgow by an annual
lecture. The drawing is a strong and sensitive work of art
that records Mitchison's sitting for the Blackadder portrait
acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in 1988. It shows a pose eventually rejected in favour of a profile view, with the writer looking towards the light from a window. | 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 : WRITER : NOVELIST : | 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 |
