Description: | Near full portrait of Professor Sir Alexander Ogston, wearing long black coat. Left hand resting on table scattered with books and papers. This painting is glazed.
"Professor Sir Alexander Ogston held the Chair of Surgery from 1882-1909. Ogston introduced antiseptic surgery to Aberdeen Infirmary, an innovation greeted with 'incredulity and ridicule'. A posed photograph by George Washington Wilson shows Ogston operating with his famous antiseptic carbolic spray to the fore. George Fiddes Watt (1873-1960) was an Aberdeen born portrait painter trained at Gray's School of Art and at the RSA School in Edinburgh. Watt , assisted by the influence of George Reid, became highly successful."
