Lady Stella Stevenson, née Fraser
This portrait of Stella, second wife of Baron Stevenson of
Hombury was painted along with a matching one of her husband in
1923 to celebrate the knighthood he received for his services as a
director in the Ministry of Munitions during the First World
War.
Lord Stevenson was brought up in Kilmarnock and before the First
World War worked for Johnnie
Walker Whisky where he became one of the Managing
Directors.
The paintings were first exhibited in the Royal Academy in
London in May 1923 and they were donated to the Dick Institute in
1927 by Lady Stevenson.
