The first Falmouth Art Gallery was opened in Grove Place in 1894 by Tuke and Ingram (a close friend of Whistler and Sargent) and featured work by Hemy, Tuke, Sargent, Whistler, Leighton, Forbes and the Knights among others. The Falmouth Packet reported: 'First among the pictures comes a large and beautifully arranged group of roses by the veteran painter Sophie Anderson, whose famous picture 'The Choristers' has been known and appreciated in every land. Daring and rich in colour and design the hangers Messrs C. Napier Hemy and W. Ayerst Ingram have given it the post of honour in the line as number one.' Anderson is known chiefly for her pictures of children and, in our research, we could not find any record of another large still life of roses.
