Robert Watson Art

British, 1865-1916
Robert Watson was the son of the Victorian landscape painter William Watson (1809-1871), and the brother of fellow artists Charles Watson (1857-1923) and William Watson Jnr (1847-1921). The favourite subject of all three sons was Scottish highland views, especially those featuring native longhorn cattle. Between 1890 and 1920, Robert Watson exhibited in Glasgow and Liverpool, and today his Scottish landscapes can be found in the collections of numerous UK museums and galleries.

“Sheep at Rest in the Highlands” '1914' Antique Oil Painting by Robert Watson
By Robert Watson
Located in Shippensburg, PA
A rich and moving scene that captures the richness of the Highlands at golden hour with the sun dimming over the horizon and casting a diffused palette of pastels through the wisps of clouds overhead, this gorgeous painting is an exceptional example of Robert Watson's work with an unusually romantic atmosphere. A flock of eleven sheep rest among the tall flowing grasses of the Scottish Highlands on a hill overlooking a distant body of water, the breeze gently ruffling the wool along their backs. Likely captured in fall, the hills are warm with browns, greens and yellows, subtle hints of flowers and stones, reeds and bushes in the impressionistic landscape. The work is executed in oil on canvas and is signed lower right "R. Watson" and dated 1914. Born on March 9th of 1865 in Brighton, Sussex to animal painter William Watson (London, 1809-1871), Robert William Watson trained under his father along with his two older brothers, Charles (1837-1900) and William Junior (1847-1921) for what would become a family occupation. He and his brother William were the most successful of the family, all of whom focused primarily on Highland paintings...
