Robert McGowan Coventry or Robert McGown Coventry (1855–1914) was a Scottish painter born in Glasgow.
Coventry studied at the Glasgow School of Art under Robert Greenlees and in Paris. Although he traveled much to the continent and the Middle East, many of his paintings depict quayside and highland scenes from eastern Scotland. He used the signature "R M G COVENTRY". His daughter, Gertrude Mary was also an artist, known for her portrait paintings.[1]
