Rupert would often assist Millais by photographing backgrounds for paintings and sitters for portraits. The Millais family lived mostly in London but spent long summer holidays at Annet Lodge near Bowerswell, Perthshire.  Here, Millais executed many of his best-known paintings and enjoyed the company of likeminded friends, including the Potters who also retreated to Perthshire for extended summer holidays, first renting Dalguise, then later Eastwood, a large house on the bank of the Tay in Dunkeld. \r\n\r\nThis view of Millais and his daughter Effie was taken at Eastwood during the Potter family’s summer holiday in 1879. \r\n","physicalDescription":"Portrait of John Everett Millais and his daughter Effie in front of a large house.
