Stansmore Richmond Leslie Dean (Scottish 1866–1944) has not benefited from the same reappraisal as Bessie MacNicol, who was her peer and a fellow student at the Glasgow School of Art. As such, when Dean’s paintings appear sporadically on the market, it is an intriguing and pleasing discovery for many collectors. Today her work is situated canonically in the (retrospectively titled) group ‘The Glasgow Girls’.
