N04431 MRS JAMES MACLEHOSE 1903
Inscr. ‘W. Strang. 1903.’ b.r., and ‘McLehose’ (sic) b.r., under mount.
Black and red chalk on pink tinted paper, 16 3/8×10 3/8 (41·5×26·5).
Presented by James Maclehose 1929.
The sitter was the daughter of Alexander Macmillan, one of the founders of the publishing firm of that name. She was born in 1874 and was married to James Maclehose, the Glasgow publisher and printer, in 1896. Maclehose commissioned his friend Strang to do portraits of his wife and himself soon after their marriage, and the artist later did a drawing of their eldest son which still belonged to Mrs Maclehose in 1957.
