A rare painting by one of Glasgow's most famous artists is returning to the city after 120 years overseas to be sold at auction this month.
David Fulton's Siblings Feeding Rabbits was sent to Germany in 1894 and has remained abroad ever since.
The oil on canvas is valued at between £8,000 and £12,000, and will feature as one of the top lots at the Scottish Pictures Auction at McTear's.
Brian Clements, managing director at McTear's, said: "David Fulton is a true son of Glasgow and one of the greatest artists to come out of the city in the past 200 years.
"This painting is perhaps the artist's finest work and it is fantastic to see it back in Glasgow after a break of 120 years."
Mr Fulton had an international reputation as a skilled painter and has contributed to exhibitions in Scotland, Venice, Prague and St Louis.
Bidding on the 4ft by 3ft painting will take place at the auction on February 14.
