Still Life with Half Peeled Lemon (1919), The Hunterian, University of Glasgow. Oil on canvas, 70 x 56 cms.
After the First World War, Hunter rented a studio in Glasgow. His pre-1920 still lifes are generally characterised by their dark backgrounds such as in this example, and a richer palette than he favoured during the War. The Half Peeled Lemon recalls Dutch still lives of the sort Hunter would have encountered in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove, and at the McManus Art Gallery, Dundee.
