"Gullane" by Edwin Alexander Rsa, Rsw, Rws, Ssa. (1870 to 1926)

This small unframed watercolour on board is a very early example of Alexanders work, dated 1889. Edwin Alexander was famed for his watercolours of flora and fauna as well as landscapes of Scotland and North Africa. He often painted on silk, linen and textured paper. Alexander exhibited his work widely and was elected to the Rws in 1910, the Rsw in 1911 and the Royal Scottish Academy in 1913. Today his paintings are found in private and public collections including the British Museum and Glasgow Museum.
