Description: | oil painting
The work is a copy of HC237, Portrait of John Tulloch by Robert Herdman, 1880.
This copy would seem to be by Herdman - the label on the backboard and the Court Minutes of 9 July 1946 indicate so.
The minutes of the Senate meeting (16 May 1887, p.143) at which it was disclosed that Principal Tulloch had bequeathed HC237, the original portrait by Herdman, to the University, record that Mr Herdman had requested that before the portrait formally passed into the custody of the Senatus Academicus, he should be permitted to put it in as perfect a condition as possible and also make a copy for the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. This was agreed.
Is the copy refered to HC236? Do the Scottish National Portrait Gallery have a copy? Was more than one copy made at this time? More investigation is needed.
Herdman was a painter of historical Scottish scenes, biblical subjects and portraits. | Publisher: | University of St Andrews | Rights holder: | 47795 | Subjects: | PORTRAIT MODERATOR DIVINITY PROFESSOR GENERAL ASSEMBLY painting PRINCIPAL VICE-CHANCELLOR | Temporal: | 1880/1888 | Source: | University of St Andrews | Creator: | HERDMAN, Robert | Identifier: | HC236 | Language: | en-GB |
