Portrait of Mrs Kirkwood (1908). George Henry (Scottish, 1858-1943). Oil on canvas.

Henry’s importance consists in his influence in the Glasgow school in the direction of richer and more decorative color. In addition to genre and landscape, he also painted portraits, more distinguished by technical ability than by rendition of character. He was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Academy (1902) and an associate of the Royal Academy.
