About the Item

Nancy Jane Burton, G.S.L.A. (Scottish, 1891-1972) An Alsatian hoping for a walk signed and dated 'N.J. Burton - 1925 -' (lower right) oil on canvas 14 x 18 in. (35.5 x 45.8 cm.) frame19 ¼ x 23 ¼ in. (48.9 x 59.1 cm.) Presented in an 18th Century hand-carved and gilded frame. ​​Born in Insh, in the Scottish Highlands, Nancy Jane Burton lived an interesting an eclectic life. Studying at the Glasgow School of Art from 1909 to 1915, she later taught art in Callander and lived for a time in Aberfoyle before settling on a farm in Tyndrum, Perthshire. In the early 1930s, a visit to her sister in northern India turned into a transformative chapter in her career. Originally planned as a six-month stay, her reputation as an artist quickly spread, with commissions following. She remained in the region for four years, establishing a base in Rawalpindi and travelling extensively across northern India, modern-day Pakistan, Kashmir, and Afghanistan. A member of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists from the mid-1920s, Burton won the Society’s prestigious Lauder Award four times—in 1924, 1931, 1946, and 1953. She exhibited widely, particularly with the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, as well as with the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Scottish Watercolour Society, and the Aberdeen Artists Society. Her work can be seen at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
