James Brand (1832-1893) was the elder son of the China and East India merchant James Brand (1798-1860) and Jane Wilson Brand whose oil portrait is included in this sale. Sandys dressed Brand as a sportsman in a tweed suit and holding a Tam-o-Shanter to denote his Scottish heritage and behind him he drew a superb study of dried thistles for the same reason. Sandys received payments of £40 and £35 in April and May 1880 for this portrait.
