About the Painting: Excellent condition; original frame (also
in very good condition).
About the Artist: Born in Edinburgh, the son of Joseph Milne,
also an artist. Studied Edinburgh College
of Art and lived at Kingoodie near Dundee
until the outbrak of the First World War.
Served in the RFC and returned briefly to
Dundee before going to Paris where he painted
a series of street scenes. Also worked in
at Lavardin in the south of France with his
French wife, and while there he benefited
from a stipend paid by the Dundee marmalade
manufacureres Keillers, who took a proportion
of his work. Often stayed at Cassis at the
same time as Cadell, Peploe and Duncan Grant.
On the outbreak of the Second World War he
returned to Scotland and settled on Arran.
He painted in a light and broad manner relecting
the influence of the Scottish Colourists
and van Gogh, especially in his flower paintings.

Note: Although attributed to MacLauchlan Milne
by the previous owner, there is some question
about authenticity. If this is by the attributed
artist, which we believe to be the case,
it is an early work and not representative
of the artist's later paintings from France
and the Western Isles. Nevertheless, it is
typical of the late 19th and early 20th century
Scottish School in both design and color.
The artist's treatment of the sky is especially
impressive and the landscape is beautifully
presented in the original gilt and acanthus
leaf frame.
