EE 143ProvenanceWith Cyril Gerber Fine Art, GlasgowSale; Bonhams, Edinburgh, 15 April 2014, lot 15 (from the Estate of the late Professors Sir Kenneth and Lady Noreen Murray)Eardley's late works, painted in or around the village of Catterline in Aberdeenshire, are some of her most powerful and expressive. Here we see the full range and force of her technique, using typical oil paint alongside boat paint in broad sweeps, collage and scoring into the surface.The present owner purchased this painting from Bonhams in 2014. There were small two darker clouds in the central area that they found to be distracting. A professional restorer was employed to paint over these darker patches with a lighter shade. Please ask the department to see before and after images.
