W. Richards (British, late 19th century) — Scottish Highland Landscape with Cattle.

51 x 76 cm.

Oil on canvas, unframed.

Signed lower right: «W. Richards».

A Scottish Highland landscape depicting a group of Highland cattle watering and crossing a stream in the foreground. In the background, a mountain range is bathed in the warm reddish light of sunset. The careful rendering of the animals' coats and the reflections on the water demonstrates confident technical skill, in keeping with the British tradition of animalier and landscape painting with Scottish subjects, widely practised in the second half of the nineteenth century in the wake of the Highland Romanticism popularised by Landseer.
