Sir David Young Cameron
Sir David Young Cameron (Scottish, 1865-1945)
Cameron was a successful painter and a very influential etcher. Strong tonal contrasts characterise his prints and his stark and dramatic paintings, which are mainly landscapes and cityscapes. He studied at Glasgow School of Art before joining life classes at the Royal Scottish Academy. His work was acclaimed in Edinburgh, London, Berlin and Munich. During the First World War, Cameron was appointed official war artist to the Canadian government and in 1933 was made the King’s Painter in Scotland. Cameron bequeathed his superb collection of Rembrandt etchings to the National Gallery of Scotland, having served on its Board of Trustees for twenty-five years [Source: National Galleries of Scotland]. His work is represented in a number of collections, National Gallery of Scotland, Tate Gallery, City of Edinburgh Art collection, National Gallery of Canada and National Gallery of New Zealand to name a few.
This watercolor measures 10.75 x 15 inches, it is monogrammed front lower right.
