About the Item

This stunning Scottish Old Master portrait oil painting is attributed to noted Scottish artist Andrew Geddes. Painted circa 1830 it is a half-length portrait of a young woman in a landscape and painted with wonderful rich tones and superb brushwork. She is dressed in a black velvet dress, her auburn hair cascading down. She is holding her hands together and gazes downwards as if deep in contemplation. The low vantage point means she is positioned again the trees and sky with birds on the wing. A beautiful Scottish Old Master oil portrait and an excellent example of Andrew Geddes' work. Provenance. Bonhams 1972. Condition. Oil on canvas, 38 inches by 30 inches unframed and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a complementary frame, 46 inches by 36 inches framed and in good condition. Andrew Geddes ARA (5 April 1783 – 5 May 1844) was a Scottish portrait painter and etcher. Geddes was born in Edinburgh. After receiving a classical education at the Royal High School and subsequently at the University of Edinburgh, he was employed as a clerk for five years in the excise office, in which his father held the post of deputy auditor. After the death of his father, who had opposed his desire to become an artist, he went to London and entered the Royal Academy schools. His first contribution to the exhibitions of the Royal Academy, a St John in the Wilderness, appeared at Somerset House in 1806, and from that year onwards Geddes was a fairly constant exhibitor of figure-subjects and portraits. His well-known portrait of David Wilkie, with whom he was on terms of intimacy, was at the Royal Academy in 1816. He alternated for some years between London and Edinburgh, with some excursions on the Continent, but in 1831 settled in London, and was elected associate of the Royal Academy in 1832. He died in London of tuberculosis in 1844. Geddes made his chief success as a portrait painter, but he produced occasional figure subjects and landscapes, and executed some copies of the old masters as well. He was also a good etcher. His portrait of his mother, and a portrait study, called Summer, are in the National Gallery of Scotland, and his portrait of Sir Walter Scott is in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. His portrait of Alexander Oswald of Changue FRSE is held at the Glasgow Museum Resource Centre.
