Sir Robin Philipson PPRSA
Artist: Donaldson, David Abercrombie, RSA · 1916-1996
Philipson retired from office as President of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1983 and the whole process of securing his Presidnetial Portrait was beset with difficulties when it was discovered that the Thorburn Ross Memorial Fund, which has traditionally financed such works, had very limited reserves, leading ultimately to Donaldson gifting the portrait off his own back.
