Our latest rotation of works on paper includes a wonderful selection of engravings, etchings and watercolours by artists including Marcantonio Raimondi, Muirhead Bone, Katherine Cameron and Jessie M King. Also on show are a drypoint by Berthe Morisot, ink-and-wash drawings by David Hamilton, and screenprints by Brendan Neiland.
The rotation also provides an opportunity to display a new acquisition, Preparing for Laurie I by Caroline Walker, gifted to The Hunterian in 2024.
Together, these works explore themes of care, family, creativity and observation. From Renaissance ideals of morality to contemporary experiences of motherhood, they show how artists have found meaning in everyday life.
The works are interspersed throughout the Hunterian Art Gallery main gallery, offering fresh dialogues with our permanent displays. Entry is free. Open Tuesday–Sunday, 10.00am–5.00pm.
Works on Paper Rotations
The Hunterian’s collection of works on paper is one of the largest in Scotland. With more than 30,000 items, it represents one of the great strengths of our art holdings.
Spanning drawings, prints and watercolours from the 15th century to the present day, the collection brings together works by artists ranging from Rembrandt to Picasso, and Matisse to Mackintosh.
Because works on paper are sensitive to light, we limit the time they are on display to protect them for future generations. To share more of this collection with our communities, we’ve introduced regular rotations which offer the chance to explore more stories and perspectives.
Every few months, different works replace the selection on display, creating fresh opportunities to discover something new on each visit.
