Henry Sayers, sailing ship master

The Drawing Book is a portrait of my mother, as a young girl, with her mother. It is an oil painting, 770 x 515mm in size, signed 'R. Sivell'. The painting came into the collection of the McLean Museum and Art Gallery, Inverclyde, in 1935 and bears a label on the reverse stating that Robert Sivell's address at that time was 'The Hollow Stell, Kirkcudbright'. The purchase price of the work seems to have been £35.
