Norman, Robert (McKechnie Section 7)

An artist, hitherto unrecorded, who was drawn to my attention by Mr Graham Thomas, who had seen one silhouette painted in the late 1790s. The sitter was a soldier; his face was painted in black and his uniform in colour. The silhouette was signed at the base, near the middle of the bust-line termination, `Robt. Norman pinxit.'
