Their right hands are clasped. A basket, two flagons, a small condiment horn, and a sheet of paper are on the table. Two pots are on a cupboard in the left background. A bottle is in a basket suspended from the ceiling at the far right.

His Poems, chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, were an immediate success when they were published in 1786. He died at Dumfries, Scotland on 21 July 1796 at the age of 37.On View
