Description: | 1/2 portrait of a Francis Edmond, facing right with head to viewer. He has grey receding hair, full beard and moustache, wearing white shirt and a black coat. There are two paintings of Edmond held by the University, both painted by Reid in 1889. This painting is smaller than ABDUA:30758, and only a bust portrait. Edmond was legal adviser to the University 1860-1892. In 1841 he donated to the University's collection an auroch's skull that had been found at 'Hopshill', Belhelvie.
"Edmond was legal advisor to the university. George Reid, (1841-1913) trained in Edinburgh, in Holland studying with G.A. Mollinger and J. Israels, and in Paris. Initially a landscape painter he increasingly worked as a portraitist. He is closely associated with John Forbes White, the Aberdeen patron and collector."
