Captain Talbert Stevenson was the son of the proprietor of the leading Dundonian dye works Francis Stevenson & Sons and was killed by sniper fire in 1917 aged 22 when serving with The Black Watch in the First World War. Talbert Stevenson is one soldier who features in Joseph Gray's 'After Neuve Chapelle'. This painting of Stevenson was shown at the Fine Art Exhibition in the sitter's native Dundee in 1920.

The Dutch portraitist and illustrator Anton Abraham van Anrooy settled in London in 1896, becoming a naturalised British citizen and a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, and occasionally at the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. His work is also included in Aberdeen Art Gallery, Gallery Oldham, the British Academy collection, the Rijksmuseum and the Rijksdienst Beeldende Kunst in The Hague (war art from the Second World War).
