Janet & Anne Grahame Johnstone portrait

News from the Art Fund (here) of an acquisition they've recently helped purchase caught my eye...

UPDATE: the seating of the figures in the picture is as follows:


The Book Palace also have plenty of their original art for sale here and the two images below are from their website...




Here's another image - slightly better quality
