Oil on canvas, 'Portrait of Lorna Marsali Woodroffe Lang, née Forbes-Leith', 1916, by Philip de László.

            Acquired by the National Trust for Scotland (Fyvie Castle) in 2021

The sitter served as a Red Cross nurse at Stoodley Knowle where her father, Colonel Burn, was MP for Torquay. The house was a hospital for wounded officers during the First World War and, to her family’s dismay, Lorna eloped with an officer in 1916 shortly after the portrait was completed. The resulting family rift meant that the portrait remained with the sitter and her descendants rather than being displayed at Lorna’s childhood home, Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire, where it now joins a large and fine collection of family portraits. Born in Hungary, De László studied in Budapest, Munich and Paris. In 1900 he was awarded the Gold Medal at the Paris International Exhibition for his portrait of Pope Leo XIII. He moved to London in 1907 where he established himself as a society portraitist, in great demand by royal and aristocratic sitters throughout Europe.
