- Description: Margot Sandeman's family had a summer house on Arran and she recorded rugged Arran landscapes - rocks and cliffs, as well as rowans, lilies and sheep - working at speed either en plein air, or using memory to give life and liveliness to colour work back in the studio. Her last significant exhibition was held in Edinburgh University‘s Talbot Rice Gallery in June 2006, from which this work was purchased. This piece features one of the recurring images within her work, sheep, and most likely on Arran. It was purchased in part because of her links with Joan Eardley and Ian Hamilton Finlay, who already featured in the collection.
