Vibrant fisher village painting probably depicts Auchmithie s shore

© Supplied by Hargesheimer, D?ssel A week or two back I mentioned how frequently local items crop up in the most far-flung salerooms. Here’s another – a scene by Newtyle artist William Bradley Lamond consigned to a German saleroom from a collector in the Ruhr region. Oil on canvas, 18 x 14 inches, but handsomely wider in its good gilt frame, Fisher Village is signed lower left, ‘W. B. Lamond’. Lamond had a studio at Auchmithie, near Arbroath, and, although by no means a regular visitor to this area, I think it might be a view of its shore. Lamond was born in Newtyle in 1857. His father was an engine driver on the Dundee-Perth line and this took the family to Dundee in 1864. With no formal training, he developed his artistic skills painting portraits, among them the Bard o’ Paton’s Lane, the great William McGonagall.
