Note: James Torrance was born in Glasgow and worked in London for many years as a highly successful portrait painter and illustrator. His work includes illustrations for 'Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales' edited by Sir George Douglas (1893). On his return to Scotland he married the flower painter Louise Ellen Perman and they lived in Helensburgh. The James Torrance Memorial Award is presented each year by the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI). The sitter in this picture is understood to be his daughter.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition and McTear’s can provide contact details of local professionals who can provide fully comprehensive expert reports, usually for a modest charge. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
