Provenance: Cecil and Mary Gibson, Anstey, Leicestershire
Cecil Gibson and Mary Wheatcroft met whilst students at Edinburgh University. After their marriage Cecil established a general medical practice in Anstey, Leicestershire. They became serious collectors of Scottish art and Scottish silver. In 2003 they left a substantial bequest to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, which has so far made possible the acquisition of fifteen works of modern and contemporary art, including by John Bellany, Norah Neilson Gray and Dorothy Johnstone (see www.nationalgalleries.org).
