SAMUEL JOHN PEPLOE R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1871-1935) | THE STATUETTE, 1920s

We are delighted to present a selection of paintings by the Scottish Colourist S. J. Peploe in our Glasgow gallery, as part of our celebrations of the 150th anniversary of his birth. Our exhibition consists of carefully chosen examples of the still life, landscape and figure study genres for which he is celebrated. Some of the works on display are to be offered in our 09 December Scottish Paintings & Sculpture auction, whilst others have been generously lent from private collections. Peploe had longstanding links with Glasgow, not least through his regular exhibitions at Alexander Reid's La Société des Beaux Arts gallery in the city, between 1919 and 1931. It is our pleasure to continue that tradition.
