Doing the Provinces is a 1890 oil by Robert McGregor, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting depicts a group of people gathered on a dirt path, with a field stretching out behind them. A woman in a white dress stands at the center, holding a large basket, while a man with a rake walks away from the group. To her left, a woman in dark clothing and a headscarf looks on, accompanied by three children. The scene is rendered in muted colors, with the figures and landscape blending together in a soft, naturalistic style. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Robert McGregor, who is known for his genre scenes of everyday life.
Robert McGregor RSA (1847–1922) was a Scottish landscape painter, genre painter, portrait painter and marine painter.
