    "Pipe Practice" by William Bruce Ellis Ranken

    I've only just discovered the work of Scottish Artist William Bruce Ellis Ranken 1881-1941, who was apparently mentored by John Singer Sargent. ( I can see his influence.) He was a "Society" Painter and didn't specifically concentrate on Kilts, Pipers, or historical subjects, but I rather like his attention to detail in this one.

    I reckon @OCRichard has seen this, but I wonder how many of the rest of us have.
