Tenement – Winter was in Eardley’s cottage at No.1 Catterline (now known as No.1 South Row) when she died in 1963. The cottage was purchased from her Estate by Mrs Jean Martin, from whom it was purchased by Mrs Gladys Eileen Lewis in 1967. Under Mrs Lewis’s instruction the painting was sent to Mr William Macaulay of Aitken Dott & Son in Edinburgh for conservation treatment; he worked with the Artist and also with her Estate. A Glasgow scene can be found on the painting’s reverse.
