Vettriano's The Singing Butler on public display

ONE of the most famous paintings by Fife artist Jack Vettriano has gone on public display for the first time in two decades.

The Singing Butler, pictured, forms part of an exhibition at Aberdeen Art Gallery entitled From Van Gogh to Vettriano – Hidden Gems from Private Collections.

The painting, which shows a couple dancing on a beach while a butler holds an umbrella over them, became the most expensive painting by a Scottish artist when it sold for £750,000 eight years ago.
