Interior with figures by a window

This painting recalls the work of Adriaen van Ostade, a painter in whom Wilkie had long been interested.

Sir Henry Gordon, 2nd Bt. (1806-1876), and by descent to his daughter,
Mary Gordon (d. 1926) and her husband General Robert Disney Leith (1819-1892), and by descent in the family to their grandson,
Captain the Hon. John Disney Leith (1909-1968), and by inheritance to his wife,
Mona Leith (1910-1980); Phillips, Edinburgh, 7 November 1980, lot 91, where acquired by the following,
with The Fine Art Society, London, where acquired by the present owner.
