"Sketch for the portrait now in Aberdeen Art Gallery. Brough (1872-1905) was a native of Invergordon, trained in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Paris, returning to Aberdeen in 1904. A precocious talent he painted figure subjects, portraits and occasionally landscapes, quickly winning recognition. He was killed in a train crash."
