Provenance
Cordiner studied at Foulis Academy in Glasgow between 1763 and 1766 before becoming an Episcopal minister in Banff. Whilst there Cordiner established a considerable reputation as an artist and received commissions to paint local views in oil and watercolour. This painting shows the grounds of Duff House owned by the Earl of Fife. He commissioned a gouache of the same subject which hung above the fireplace at Rothiemay, one of his homes, which is illustrated in Paul Harris and Julian Halsby, The Dictionary of Scottish Painters, Canongate, Edinburgh, 1990, p.37.
