Description
ARTHUR MELVILLE A.R.S.A., R.S.W., A.R.S (SCOTTISH 1855-1904) REEDS, DUDDINGSTON LOCH, WINTER Signed, watercolour

(51cm x 66cm (20in x 26in))

Note: Duddingston Loch was a constant source of inspiration for Melville, and as Kenneth McConkey points out in his 2015 National Galleries of Scotland exhibition catalogue, Melville's obituary in the Haddington Advertiser recorded that as a student at the R.S.A. Schools 'the reeds at Duddingston were a favourite sketching ground of his, and to gratify this taste he had to get up at five o'clock in the morning, so much work did he do during the day.' It is interesting to compare this work with 'Skating on Duddingston Loch' exhibited in National Galleries of Scotland, Arthur Melville: Adventures in Colour, 2015, no.31
