Following
tours of the exhibition, visitors were invited to a reception
in the magnificent galleries of the National Gallery of Scotland.
On the walls are (left) two works by Thomas Gainsborough: 'The
Ladies Waldegrave' and 'The Hon. Mrs Graham.' and (right) 'Alexander
Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon,' by Pompeo Batoni. One of the largest
paintings in the collection, Benjamin West's 'Alexander III
of Scotland rescued from the Fury of a Stag,' is visible in
the distance in Room XII, with Bartolini's marble portrait of
'The Campbell Sisters' in front of it. |
