Description: | The University of St Andrews's art collection contains many 19th century oil portraits, usually of individuals connected to the University. This includes portraits of the Prime Ministers William Ewart Gladstone and Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne Cecil, 3rd Marquis of Salisbury, both by Edward Trevannyon Haynes, c. 1895; both were awarded the LL.D. degree by the University.
There is a portrait of Principal David Brewster by William Salter Herrick, c.1859; of Professor James Frederick by Sir John Watson Gordon, c.1863; and of Principal Francis Nicoll by Sir Henry Raeburn, 1814, among many other works.
There are also sculptural busts, such as those of the poet Robert Browning by his son Robert Barrett Browning, and Robert Stevenson (the lighthouse engineer) by Samuel Joseph, 1825; and a magnificent marble bust of 'Laura' (the muse of Petrach), after Canova. | Subjects: | photograph FRANCIS WILLIAM SALTER fine art SIR DAVID HERRICK ROBERT GLADSTONE WILLIAM EWART FERRIER LAURA NICOLL BROWNING BREWSTER SIR HENRY painting RAEBURN JAMES FREDERICK HAYNES 19th century Decorative and Applied Art WATSON print SIR JOHN GORDON sculpture Art STEVENSON SALISBURY 3RD MARQUESS OF E.
