Mabel Scott Lauder Pryde (12 February 1871 – July 1918) was a Scottish artist, the wife of artist William Nicholson, and the mother of artists Ben Nicholson and Nancy Nicholson and the architect Christopher Nicholson.
Life
[edit | edit source]She was the daughter of David Pryde, headmaster of Edinburgh Ladies College 1870–1891, and Barbara Lauder, whose father William was a brother of the famous Scottish artists Robert Scott Lauder and James Eckford Lauder. Mabel had one brother, the artist James Pryde.[6] As children, they lived at 10 Fettes Row,[7] a north-facing Edinburgh house.[8]
Pryde trained at the Bushey School of Art in Hertfordshire under the tutelage of Hubert von Herkomer.[6][9] Here she met fellow student William Nicholson, whom she married in 1893. She introduced Nicholson to her brother James and all three moved to the Eight Bells, a former pub in Denham, in Buckinghamshire.[10]
Pryde and Nicholson had four children: Ben (1894–1982); Anthony (1897–1918), killed in action during the First World War; Annie Mary "Nancy" (1899–1978); and Christopher "Kit" (1904–1948). They moved to Rottingdean in 1909.[6] In July 1918, Pryde died from influenza during the 1918 flu pandemic.[11][12]
Work
[edit | edit source]Pryde exhibited under her married name in several group shows in London, culminating in a solo show at the Chenil Gallery in 1912.[9] Her work is included in the collections of the Tate Museum, London[13] and the National Galleries of Scotland.[14] In addition, there was an exhibition of her work at her former home, The Grange, Rottingdean in 2024.[15]
