Description

Men of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders relaxing outside their tents. Signed and dated 'William Kennedy / 88'. Upon their formation in 1887, William Kennedy was elected President of the Glasgow Boys, the group of Scottish artists known for their Impressionist technique and subject matter. Kennedy had himself studied in Paris with a number of leading French painters, including Jules Bastien-Lepage, William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Gustave Courtois. Due to his interest in the army and the multitude of military scenes in his oeuvre, Kennedy was nicknamed 'Colonel'. He is known to have spent a great deal of time painting at the army camp in the King's Park at Stirling where this watercolour was presumably executed.
