Description

Anna Dixon was born in Scotland and studied at the RSA Life School in Edinburgh under E A Walton, Charles Mackie and William Walls.

She had an easy, fluent style and specialised in oil and watercolour studies of birds, flowers and figures in landscape. She visited France regularly, and especially enjoyed painting at Concarneau in Brittany, as well as among the crofting settlements of the West coast of Scotland. She frequently painted donkeys and horses, often with children.

She exhibited prolifically for 64 years, showing 94 works at the Royal Scottish Academy from 1894-1958, 98 works at the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours, 107 works at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, from 1904-1958, 2 at the RA 1906-7 and also frequently at the Aberdeen Art Society between 1898-1935.

Anna was elected RSW in 1917 and was President of the SSWA from 1930 –1942. She lived in Edinburgh.

The present painting "Farmyard" is an oil on board measuring 9"x 13" and is signed lower left. It is framed giving an overall size of 14"x 19". On the back is a nice original label for the Paisley Art Institute giving the title and name and address of the artist.

Farmyard and rural genre painting gained significant popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries as artists sought to capture traditional agricultural life and the changing British countryside before mechanisation.

These works typically utilise oil pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas, often primed with lead white or gesso, and secured within wooden stretchers, frequently complemented by ornate gilt frames.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural ageing characteristics such as canvas oxidisation, craquelure in the paint layer, hand-mixed pigment variations, and period-appropriate stretcher frames with traditional joinery.

Such artwork serves as a focal point in rooms styled with natural textures, providing a grounding historical element that complements both neutral modern spaces and traditional country house aesthetics.

Preservation requires hanging paintings away from direct sunlight and heat sources, maintaining stable relative humidity levels, and avoiding chemical cleaners, relying instead on professional conservation for dust and varnish maintenance.
