Sir James & Alexander MacDonald Children With Golf Club & Gun by William Mossman Reproduction
Children of Sir Alexander MacDonald of Macdonald from circa 1749 were depicted in this oil portrait painting holding a golf club and rifle respectively by artist William Mossman resulting in one of the earliest recollections of the family. It would also be one of the earliest paintings featuring a golf club. The Macdonald Highland chieftain from the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The affluent family commissioned this painting to be brushed with the sporting heirs in the predetermined pose and props. While not necessarily a mature game, golf had been played in the area for over a century and its citizens had taken a liking to it. Donning the finest clothing materials, tartan can be found from head to toe. The two children were framed nicely by the tree canopy in the painting's background. Mossman added captions in script identifying each MacDonald child. Sir Alexander (on the left) lived from 1744 until 1795 and Sir James (on the right) from 1741 until 1766. This reproduction's original painting hung in the Armadale Castle. This intricate deluxe gold-tone framing showing slight wear accents this reproduction canvas piece of this untitled MacDonald Children portrait done by William Mossman. 17 3/4" x 21 3/4"
