PORTRAIT of CYNTHIA TRENCH-GASCOIGNE

Staring confidently into the distance aged six in 1904, Cynthia gives the impression of entering her own chapter in the Gascoigne Dynasty.

Iater Cynthia Sandys
Clairaudent and a key figure in spiritualism. Co-author with the famous novelist Rosamond Lehmann.

Portrait of Cynthia Trench-Gascoigne
seated in the 'Gascoigne Scottish Landscape' by Edward Hughes (1832 - 1908)

ART CASE

Research Pages show how the artist himself  identifies the sitter as a 'Gascoigne’.
 
In all probability, displayed  'pride of place’  at  Craignish Castle. Set-apart from the ancestral Gascoigne portraits at Lotherton Hall.
 
How the Grand Portrait went  'missing’  brings an aura of intrigue to the Art Case.
