Frank Walters was a British painter active between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, known for his depictions of Scottish landscapes and Highland cattle. His work belongs to the tradition of British animal painting that, throughout the nineteenth century, had found its most celebrated exponent in Edwin Landseer, who elevated the Highland cattle motif to a pictorially noble and commercially successful subject. In this painting, three cattle with thick red and tawny coats are depicted on the bank of a mountain lake, set against an autumnal landscape dominated by cloudy skies and mountain masses rendered with confident, impastoed brushwork. The diffuse light filtering through the clouds animates the water's surface and lends the scene the melancholic, contemplative atmosphere characteristic of Romantic painting of northern subjects.
