GEORGE WATSON, PRSA (1767-1837). PORTRAIT OF MRS JOHN WATSON OF OVERMAINS (nee FRANCES VEITCH OF ELIOTT), THE ARTIST'S MOTHER. Seated, half length, wearing a buff shawl and mop cap, bears later identifying label on stretcher, oil on canvas 86.5 x 66.5cm. * Watson studied under Alexander Nasmyth and assisted in Reynolds' London studio but, upon his return to Edinburgh in the late 1780s, he adopted very purposefully Sir Henry Raeburn's palette and mannerisms, including bold lighting, fluent and creamy brushwork and a pronounced sense of character. Watson became the first president of the Royal Scottish Academy from 1826-1837.
