Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell (1883-1937)- Watercolour - "The Ross of Mull ", signed, canvas, 6.75ins x 9.75ins, dated 1922 to back, in gilt frame and glazed Provenance: Ewan Munday Fine Art Ltd, 211 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 2LW
Note:Cadell first visited Iona in 1912, possibly because it was owned by his friend Ivar Campbell's uncle, the 9th Duke of Argyll. Whilst serving in World War One, Cadell wrote to his fellow Scottish Colourist S.J.Peploe: "When the war is over I shall go to the Hebrides, recover some virtues I have lost. There is something marvellous about those western seas. Oh Iona. We must all go together." (quoted in Alice Strang et al, S.J. Peploe, National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, 2012, pg.24) True to his word, Cadell introduced Peploe to the Hebridean island, off Scotland's west coast, in 1920 and they returned there most summers for the rest of their lives.
