For this online talk, Dr Antonia Laurence-Allen, National Trust for Scotland’s Regional Curator for Edinburgh and East, will take you on a journey linking the paintings with the property to reveal what is real and imagined in John Henry’s genre scenes. Genre is the term for representations of everyday or domestic life.
