Elizabeth Patrick (c. 1834 - 17 October 1923) was a Scottish painter.[1] She was one of the eight founders of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists.

Life

[edit]

Her father was John Patrick (14 February 1804 - 4 May 1854), a yarn merchant from Kilsyth.[2][3] He was buried in Glasgow Necropolis on 5 May 1854; lair 58 Gamma.[4]

Her mother was Mary Reid (1 July 1803 - 18 May 1861) from Glasgow. John and Mary's marriage was not recorded at the time. Their marriage was confirmed as an irregular marriage in the Barony church records of 6 May 1854, after John died.

Elizabeth Patrick was born c. 1834 in Glasgow.

Art

[edit]

By 1848, the Glasgow School of Art was accepting women as students.[12]

In 1855 Elizabeth Patrick was appointed its first female teacher.[13]

In June 1855 Elizabeth Patrick was employed as an assistant teacher at the Glasgow School of Art; her salary was £10 per year. In the autumn of 1861 she was appointed to the new ‘special class for females’, and by 1872 she was earning £40 per year (Governors’ Minutes, Glasgow School of Art, 5 June 1855 and 29 November 1869). Obviously, like Greenlees, selling watercolour pictures supplemented her income.[14]

Death

[edit]

She died on 17 October 1923 at Dunscore, Castlehead, Paisley. The value of her estate was given as £1722, 5 shillings and 8 pence.[15]

Confirmation of the death was given by Angus Maclean, also staying at Dunscore. Maclean was the principal of Paisley Technical College. Dunscore was a villa gifted to the Technical College for the use of their principal by the Paisley engineer and shipbuilder William Bow.[16]
