Circle of Thomas Gainsborough Two figures in a landscape Oil on panel 35cm x 30cm Exhibited: The Morrison Collection at The Tate Gallery, 1931, No. 38 as 'Early landscape by T. Gainsborough' (according to label on reverse) This label is a later hand written label which would explain the wrong year but there is an exhitition sticker for 'No. 38', and the present lot matches the Tate Gallery Archives description. The Arthur Morrison (1863-1945) collection went on short loan to The Tate Gallery in Febraury 1930 and was returned to Morrison in October 1930. The collection was loaned with a view to possible future bequest of a substantial number of the 160 works, many of which were displayed in galleries 29 and 30. The collection was split into three groups, the present lot was on list 'C' which were works that were not authenticated by Sir Charles Holmes (Director of the National Gallery from 1916-1928) or the the painter Francis Dodd and subsequently not as desirable for any bequest. The proposed bequest of works to the Tate Gallert did not materialise but it is unknown how the collection was dispersed. Morrison was also a collector of Japanese prints, 140 Japanese paintings and woodcuts and a collection of tea ceremony porcelain was bequeathed to the British Museum. We would like to thank the Tate Gallery archives for their assistance in catalogueing this lot
