Cowan Dobson (Scottish, 1894 - 1980)
Born in Bradford to Scottish parents, Dobson spent most of his life in Scotland. He studied in Edinburgh and exhibited from a young age; at the Royal Academy from the age of nineteen and the Royal Scottish Academy from twenty-three. Dobson’s portraits focused on the ordinariness of his subjects, despite many of them being society sitters from Scotland and London. He worked in both oil and watercolour.
