William Henry Pigott
William Henry Pigott, Highland Cattle Beside A Loch, Oil Painting

1881

About the Item

This mid-19th-century oil painting by British artist William Henry Pigott (1835-1901) depicts a Scottish loch with highland cattle. A lake, enlivened with ripples of reflected light, bends around rugged scenery. Its light blue punctuated by darker tones before disappearing. In the foreground, several highland cattle wander amid scattered foliage - captured with a few deft marks. Pigott’s modest approach to nature describes its various moods with humility. Note the gentle haze of tinted mists, which calms the imposing peaks. And the sinuous copse on the far left that guides the eye towards a veiled horizon. At every juncture, he seeks to underplay the power of this loch, while elevating its sense of abundant mystery. Signed/dated lower right and held within a period gilt frame.

  • Fording the River Landscape British Master Nasmyth 19th century Oil Painting
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Signed lower right "Nasmyth" leading to one of the whole pleiad of renowned Scottish artists starting with Alexander Nasmyth (1758 -1840). This painting showcases a scene of a landscape with shallow water, where a family is seen wading through a river ford in knee-deep water. The presence of a shepherdess on a high bank, observing the travelers with keen interest, adds a sense of pastoral charm to the composition. One of the focal points of the painting is a picturesque tree that has fallen into the river, adding a touch of drama to the overall scene. The contrast between the lush woodland and bushes on the right side of the foreground and the rolling valley on the left side further enhances the depth and perspective of the painting and superbly illustrates the traditions of the early 19th century British Art...
