About this artwork

Both the sitter and artist studied at the Slade School of Art in London. Macgregor became one of the leading figures of the Glasgow Boys who, although influenced by the French Impressionists, gave their work an unmistakable Scottish flavour. Strang earned himself a reputation as one of the most innovative printmakers of his day. He was a superb draughtsman, as can be seen from this delicate portrait drawing.
