Faculty portrait chosen for London exhibition

 

A new artwork for the Faculty which features the Bench and Bar is to be included in a major exhibition in London.

Commissioned in 2013, the portrait, by the award-winning artist Mark Roscoe, depicts the First Division courtroom in Parliament House, with a Bench of 12 Senators, headed by Lord Gill, Lord President , and Lord Carloway, Lord Justice Clerk.

The Bar is represented by a host of familiar faces, including Lord Keen of Elie, QC, Roy Martin, QC, James Wolffe, QC and Donald Findlay, QC.

The painting is one of 220 works in the annual exhibition of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, being held in the Mall Galleries, London, from 5 to 20 May.  It will be delivered to the Faculty after the exhibition.

Previously, Mark Roscoe painted a portrait of Lord Hardie for the Faculty.  He spent his formative years in Kirkcaldy, Fife, and attended the town’s Balwearie High School before studying at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee.
