Provenance:
The Fine Art Society 1983 Centenary Exhibition, no.18
Sir Patrick Ford, Westerdunes and thence by descent
Note:
Westerdunes in North Berwick was built by Sir Patrick Ford as a holiday home. The vendors father Henry, was born there in 1911 so the child sitting on the carpet is his elder sister, Joan Ford.
Sir Patrick Ford was a major patron of Scottish artists at the turn of the century and Cadell would have been invited to stay in the new house and commissioned to paint several pictures.
