About the painting
Model in White shows a model draped in white fabric, seated by a fireplace in what appears to be an artist's studio. It belongs to a group of Vettriano's paintings about the studio itself: the relationship between painter and model, the business of posing, and the private world in which a picture is made. The white drapery recalls the traditions of classical painting, which he admired and quietly referenced.
As an early image from the mid-1990s, it gives a glimpse of Vettriano's work as his reputation was growing. It suits a bedroom, a study or a collection that focuses on his studio paintings.

Framing, display and care
This is a lithograph, one of the classic printmaking methods, in which each colour is printed from its own plate so that the image is built up in layers on the sheet. Lithographs from the mid-1990s belong to the earliest phase of Vettriano's print publishing, before giclée technology became the norm, and they have a quality of their own as a result. Treat it as you would any work on paper of this age: frame it with an acid-free mount and UV-filtering glass, hang it away from direct sun, and avoid bathrooms, kitchens and the area above a radiator. If you are unsure about its current framing, a conservation framer can check the mount and backing for you.

About Jack Vettriano
Jack Vettriano was born in St Andrews in 1951 and grew up in Methil, Fife. He left school at sixteen and taught himself to paint, studying the works in Kirkcaldy's gallery after being given a set of watercolours for his twenty-first birthday. When he sent two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy's annual exhibition in 1988, both sold on the first day, and his career as a professional painter began.
Vettriano's paintings are known for their cinematic atmosphere: men and women in evening dress, beaches under heavy skies, quiet rooms where something has just happened or is about to. He was appointed OBE in 2003, and a major retrospective of his work was held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow in 2013 and 2014.
