{"product_id":"old-tom-morris-samuel-peploe","title":"Old Tom Morris - Samuel Peploe","description":"\u003cp\u003eA portrait of the legendary golfer Old Tom Morris by Scottish Colourist Samuel Peploe, captured in a moment of relaxed, informal conviviality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait depicts Old Tom Morris, the legendary Scottish professional golfer and greenkeeper. Samuel Peploe, a member of the Scottish Colourists, captures the subject in a moment of relaxed conviviality. Morris is shown seated, holding a small glass aloft as if offering a toast. His expression is warm and informal, reflecting a character well-known in the sporting circles of St Andrews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on a dark, moody background that pushes the figure forward. Peploe employs a restricted palette of deep browns, blacks, and muted greys, which allows the lighter tones of the face and the glass to emerge with clarity. The brushwork is confident and fluid, characteristic of Peploe's early work before his later shift toward more experimental, high-chroma colour palettes. The lighting is focused, catching the texture of the subject's clothing and the weathered lines of his face, providing a sense of immediacy to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Tom Morris is presented here not as a formal icon of sport, but as an individual captured in a quiet, personal moment. The inclusion of a pipe and a small box on the table adds to the domestic, unpretentious atmosphere of the painting. Peploe demonstrates his ability to balance traditional portraiture techniques with a looser, more expressive handling of paint. This work provides insight into the artist's development and his interest in capturing the personality of his sitters through subtle observation rather than rigid staging. The painting remains a significant record of a figure who shaped the early history of golf, rendered by one of Scotland's most respected painters of the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/meisje-met-hoed-op-philip-zilcken\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMeisje met hoed op by Philip Zilcken\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portret-van-johannes-jacobus-franciscus-wap-hilmar-johannes-backer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortret van Johannes Jacobus Franciscus Wap by Hilmar Johannes Backer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Samuel Peploe","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131057471823,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131070284111,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131070316879,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131070349647,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131070382415,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131070415183,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131070447951,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131070480719,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131070513487,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131070546255,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131070579023,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131070611791,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131070644559,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131070677327,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131070710095,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131070742863,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131070775631,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131070808399,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131070841167,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131070873935,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Old-Tom-Morris_Poster_CompositorV1_1792114185733.jpg?v=1792134322","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/old-tom-morris-samuel-peploe","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
