Private Collection, U.K.
An early work from 1937, the figures depicted in the present work include the artist's mother in the garden at Arngask House, Perth, Scotland. Margaret Mellis' father was a Presbyterian Minister, and had previously been employed in Gullane, East Lothian, before the family relocated to Arngask. This is also the location for lots 30 and 31.
