  • Bonhams picture specialist May Matthews makes the final adjustments to the positioning of Purple Tulips by the Scottish Colourist painter George Leslie Hunter.  It is estimated at £120,000-150,000. <br />
<br />
The painting was once in the collection of Baroness Elliot of Harwood of Rulewater DBE LLD (1903-1994),one of the most colourful, Scottish figures of the last century. One of the first women to be made a Life Peer and the first Life Peeress to speak in the House of Lords, she enjoyed a long and distinguished life of public service. <br />
<br />
Hunter was a well-known landscape and portrait painter when, during the1920s, his friend and biographer Tom Honeyman encouraged him to concentrate on painting still-life. In 1925, Alex Reid Gallery held a critically acclaimed exhibition of Hunter's work, and in the same year, the artist exhibited in London alongside the other painters – Peploe, Fergusson, and Cadell – who later became known collectively known as the Scottish Colourists.
