"At the union of King's and Marischal Colleges in 1860 six new chairs were instituted. Milligan was the first holder of the chair of Biblical Criticism in the faculty of Divinity (1860-93). 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. An engraving of the painting is also in the collection (see ABDUA: 31321)."
