EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Alexander Hay Moncur, 1887" takes us back to the Victorian era with its exquisite detail and masterful brushstrokes. Painted by George Reid in oil on canvas, this remarkable piece measures an impressive 122.5x867 cm and is housed in The McManus gallery in Dundee, UK. The subject of this painting is Alexander Hay Moncur (1830-1905), a prominent figure in Dundee's history who served as Provost from 1881 to 1884. Dressed impeccably in a suit and cape lined with luxurious ermine fur, Moncur exudes authority and elegance. His profile showcases his distinguished grey hair, sideburns, and mutton chops - a true reflection of the fashion trends of the time. Sitting confidently with an air of civic leadership about him, Moncur's presence commands attention. This portrait captures not only his physical appearance but also hints at his influence within society during that period. Reid's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the intricate details of Moncur's features. Every stroke seems deliberate and purposeful, capturing both the essence of the man himself and the spirit of Victorian portraiture. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork today, we are transported back to a time when power was symbolized through attire and posture. It serves as a testament to both Reid's artistic talent and Moncur's significant role within Dundee’s history
