DETAIL: Born in America, Robin Hambro (1934-2022) started her career as a model, photographed by the leading photographers of the day including Horst P.Horst and Norman Parkinson, going on to become the American Director of Public Relations of Christian Dior Couture (1962-64), Fashion Editor (1967 - 70) and later the London Editor of American Vogue (1970-73), before working at Christie's (1987-2001) and later as an artist and art advisor. Known for her impeccable taste and love of the eclectic, Robin, together with her husband, the banker and philanthropist Rupert Hambro, built a superb collection of fine and decorative arts from all over the world. Robin was glamorous and had impeccable style (having worked for Vogue) she had the discerning fashion editor’s eye. Robin's profound knowledge of the art world and the act of creation as a painter led her to constantly refresh her and her husband's art collection and take it in an increasingly 20th-century Modernist direction. Her works appear rarely to market so this is a rather unique opportunity to own a piece of wonderful original art from an iconic collector and artist.

- BEATRICE HUNTINGTON (1889-1988) Scottish impressionist Portrait Oil PaintingLocated in Cirencester, GBARTIST: Beatrice Huntington (1889-1988) Scottish TITLE: "Portrait Of A Red Haired Lady" SIGNED: lower left and with provenance from The Scottish Gallery Edinburgh and James Bourlet exhibition label also MEDIUM: oil on canvas SIZE: 68cm x 60cm inc frame CONDITION: very good DETAIL: The Scottish artist Beatrice M. L. Huntington (1889–1988) enjoyed a long and varied career as a painter and is best known for her insightful portraits, characterised by a strong sense of design and an intuitive use of colour. Her approach to painting was ever-evolving: throughout her long and fascinating life, which spanned a century and bore witness to the advent of the modern era, she remained indefatigably committed to her development as an artist and to 'containing and realising the big-ness of it all', as she herself described it in a letter to a friend in 1977, when at the age of 88 she was still refining her approach to form and colour. The daughter of an eminent St Andrews doctor, Beatrice grew up in affluent surroundings – an imposing townhouse on St Andrews South Street both her father's surgery and the family home. A precocious talent for both music and art led her, perhaps unusually for a girl at that time, to pursue her studies abroad. In 1906, the year she turned 17, she went to Paris to study drawing and painting and in 1911, after an evidently successful formative period in Paris, she continued her studies in Munich, attending a private art school where she apparently flourished. By the 1920s, Beatrice's own identity and path as an artist were clearly defined. Her marriage to the painter William Macdonald in 1925 created a unique artistic partnership and cemented her place within the Scottish art scene of the 1920s and 1930s, particularly in Edinburgh where Macdonald was already well established and a close friend of Scottish Colourists F. C. B. Cadell and Samuel Peploe. This is illustrated by surviving correspondence and in particular by a characterful portrait of a debonair William Macdonald by Cadell, dating from the mid-1920s. Macdonald's particular affinity for the arid landscapes of southern Spain had earned him the nickname William 'Spanish' Macdonald. Beatrice shared his love of travel and together they explored the Continent, returning frequently to the French Riviera and to southern Spain, taking as their base, for a time at least, the picturesque Mediterranean fishing village of Cassis in the South of France, a favoured haunt of the Colourists. The couple moved in artistic milieux both at home and abroad, also spending time in Kirkcudbright in Galloway. Their time painting together in Spain culminated with a joint exhibition in 1928 at Messrs Watt and Sons, Dundee, entitled 'Pictures of Spain...Category
