This work was made by Sir David Young Cameron (1865–1945), who was a distinguished Scottish painter and etcher, renowned for his evocative landscapes and architectural studies. Born in Glasgow to Reverend Robert Cameron and Margaret Robertson, he was educated at The Glasgow Academy and later studied at both the Glasgow School of Art and the Edinburgh School of Art.
