Provenance
The artist's brother.
This was one of the first paintings the artist ever painted in oils.
The painting on the reverse includes a portrait of the artist's maternal grandfather. Peter Vettriano, an Italian immigrant, was one of the greatest influences on Jack's early life - some 30 years later Jack took his surname. Art was not a familiar concept in the family home, but Jack liked to draw and his grandfather would bring home little pads of betting slips and tiny wooden pencils from the local bookmakers. For hours, Jack would sit doodling on the pads.
