George Richmond RA (1809-96)
Portrait of William Simson RSA and his wife, Dora
Signed and dated, 1835

William Simson RSA (1800-1847) was a notable Scottish landscape painter, who was elected to the Royal Scottish Academy the year before this portrait was painted. George Richmond's delicately brillliant portraits capture the character and manner of the period better than any other painter.
