Anne Redpath ARA ARWS RSA, Scottish 1895-1965 - Still Life with Staffordshire Figure, 1955; ink wash on paper, signed lower right 'Anne Redpath', 35.3 x 55 cm (ARR) Provenance: with Mercury Gallery, London (according to the label attached to the reverse of the frame); the estate of the late designer Anthony Powell, purchased from the above in 1975 Note: Anne Redpath is one of the best loved Scottish artists of the 20th century, known for the subtle colouration of her work. Redpath was a natural heir to the Scottish Colourists such as FCB Cadell and S J Peploe, continuing a tradition in Scottish painting of experimentation with the modernist still life. The present work in black and white shows how carefully her works are composed, the form emerging from the tonal composition. Please refer to department for condition report
