Cork High, Bottle Deep iLittel Gem s an original oil painting from Alexander Millar's Little Gem collection.

'Little Gems' are a mixture of original landscapes and 'gadgie' characters that are painted on a smaller scale than Alexander Millar's usual canvas sizes.

The oversized, dramatic frames contrast in scale with the painting, creating highly impactful artworks suitable for any wall space.

"When I was a wee boy, the pub in the village fascinated me.

High, frosted glass windows blocked  the prying eyes of us kids.

And women would be tolerated in the Lounge or Snug for a few hours on a Saturday night - as the pub was almost exclusively for the menfolk.

Sometimes the revellers would spill out onto the street, carrying their preferred tipple with them."

Cork High, Bottle Deep Little Gem s in an oversized, dramatic frame and be available to order online or view in our Glasgow gallery for 4 October 2025.
