# Portrait of James Pitcairn-Knowles [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RIPPL-RÓNAI, József]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 55 x 64 cm ## Commentary James Pitcairn-Knowles \(1863-1954\), shown wearing a wide-brimmed hat, was a painter of Scots descent. He sympathized with Rippl-Rónai's aims and aspirations, was a close friend at Neuilly, and introduced him to Maillol. It was Rippl-Rónai who turned Maillol's attention to sculpture, while, in turn, Maillol aroused Rippl-Rónai's interest in the design of wall carpets, and the applied arts in general. ## Related artworks - [Banyuls-sur-Mer]() - [Cemetery in the Great Plain]() - [Christmas]() - [Father and Uncle Piacsek Drinking Red Wine]() - [Girl with Cage]() - [Inn at Pont-Aven]() - [My Grandmother]() - [Old Woman with Violet]() - [Parc Monceau]() - [Parisian Interior]() - [Park with Nudes]() - [Pál Szinyei Merse]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
