Catalogue Note

In the 1920s Farquharson painted a series of beautiful floral works in his garden at Finzean. The present picture is comparable with a painting of the same dimensions entitled Delphiniums, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1928. However the composition of the flower borders is closer to a smaller work, A Corner of my Garden exhibited in 1925 with the borders planted with a different and less appealing range of flowers. It is likely that the present picture is either Delphiniums of 1923 or the picture of the same title exhibited in 1926.
