Lady Agnew of Lochnaw
''Lady Agnew of Lochnaw'' is an oil on canvas portrait painting of Lady Gertrude Agnew, the wife of Sir Andrew Agnew, 9th Baronet. The painting was commissioned and completed in 1892 by the American portrait artist John Singer Sargent. It measures at and is owned by the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland. The museum acquired it through the Cowan Smith Bequest Fund in 1925.
==Background==
Lady Gertrude Agnew (née Vernon) was born in 1865, the daughter of the Hon. Gowran Vernon and granddaughter of Robert Vernon, 1st Baron Lyveden. She married Sir Andrew Agnew, 9th Baronet of Lochnaw Castle in 1889. A few years later, during 1892, he commissioned John Singer Sargent to paint her portrait. The success of the painting endowed Lady Agnew with additional notability and prestige. There is speculation that the family may have met with financial difficulties resulting in an attempt to sell the painting to the Trustees of the Frick Collection in 1922 but the offer was rejected by Helen Clay Frick. Lady Agnew died in London in April 1932 after suffering ill health for a long time.
