John Horsburgh Oil Painting: William Smith |
|
Clive Press wrote: "I recently inherited two oil paintings by John Horsburgh on the death of my father earlier this year. They are of my g g grandparents, William Cobb Smith of Benholm Castle and his wife Jessie Smith (Rae). My family came originally from Montrose Scotland, and William Smith had business interests in Edinburgh. I am now retired and am living in the province of Cordoba in Spain. The pictures are 34cm x 40cm including the gold frame; the pictures are set within a gold oval surround, and signed and dated in red "Horsburgh Edin 1874". I am assuming they are by John Horsburgh, b1835. Clive Press, Cordoba, Spain: October 29. 2007 Jessie Smith
