Your ScotlandsPeople Stories - "Searching for an Artist's Model" By Grace Lilian Darney
My great aunt, Lilian Dalzell Darney (1870-1966), was a painter of watercolours and miniature portraits in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, exhibiting the portraits in England and Scotland. She painted miniatures of family members and neighbours, as well as people who worked with her sisters, Elizabeth Herkes Darney (Meta) and Mary Buchanan Darney (May). Both of these sisters were matrons in Scottish mental hospitals, May at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, and Meta at the Gartnavel Royal Insane Asylum, in Glasgow.
Some years ago, I received Lilian’s original sketches. Each had been labelled with the name of the sitter and the date. If the finished miniature was exhibited, she also noted the exhibition; for example, SSA, RSA, RA. I immediately decided that I would write a book about Lilian and her art. I needed to research the sitters, however, as they were not all family members. This is where Scotland’s People has been so valuable.
