About the Item

Title: Highland Cattle Drive Artist: Henry Garland (British, 1834-1919) Medium: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: Canvas: 30 x 50 inches With Frame: 36 x 56 inches Date: Signed and Dated 1873 Condition: Very Good, Ready to Hang Description: Immerse yourself in the pastoral beauty of the Scottish Highlands with this captivating oil painting by renowned British artist Henry Garland. Signed and dated 1873, this expansive landscape, titled "Highland Cattle Drive," masterfully captures a quintessential scene of rural Scottish life in the 19th century. Garland's adept use of color and light brings to life a bustling herd of highland cattle being driven along a rugged path, set against a backdrop of misty hills and sprawling moorlands. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the expressive depiction of the cattle, the varied textures of their coats, and the naturalistic portrayal of the Scottish terrain. The soft, diffused light filtering through the overcast sky adds a sense of tranquility and realism to the scene. This substantial work, measuring 30 x 50 inches on canvas and 36 x 56 inches with its frame, is in very good condition and is ready to hang, making it an ideal addition to any collection of fine art. Whether displayed in a private home, a country estate, or a public gallery, this painting offers a timeless glimpse into the pastoral heritage of the British Isles. Henry Garland was born in Hadlow, Kent in 1834, the son of Henry and Elizabeth Garland. At the age of 16 he went to live at Madras House School in Hackney with his uncle Thomas Garland. Thomas was headmaster there and probably assisted in furthering his artistic education. In 1853, he entered the Royal Academy Schools and began exhibiting at the RA a year later in 1854. He also exhibited at British Institution and Suffolk Street. After leaving his uncle’s residence, he continued living in the Kingsland area near Hackney until 1862 when he moved to 94, St Pauls Road, Islington. Garland is best known for his genre and animal paintings as well as his Highland scenes. Although he was based in the South East, he would often travel around visiting areas such as Suffolk, Devon and Scotland, in particular Argyleshire. Many of his Scottish paintings feature highland cattle being driven across dramatic landscapes. By 1868, he had moved again to 75, Patshull Street, St Pancras before settling in 3, Woodfield Terrace, Maida Hill around 1873. He lived there with his wife Mary Anne and their children until the end of the 1880’s when they relocated to Leatherhead, Surrey, living at 2 Winifred Villas, Station Road. He remained there until his death at his home on 22 March, 1913.

19th Century Scottish landscape oil painting of Highland cattle at Glen Goil
By William Watson
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
William Watson Jnr British, (1847-1921) Up Glen Goil, West Highlands Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1892, further inscribed verso Image size: 23.5 inches x 35.5 inches Size including frame: 36.25 inches x 48.25 inches This highly atmospheric and well executed painting by William Watson Jnr depicts Highland Cattle watering at Glen Goil. Glen Goil is a valley area of Argyll and Bute in the West Highlands. It is situated at the junction of Hell’s Glen and Gleann Mor and has the river Goil flowing through. Located around 2 miles from Lochgoilhead, it is well known as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Watson made several trips to the Highlands and produced a number of paintings of the locality, many of which included highland cattle such as this fine example. Another painting by him of Glen Goil is held by the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. William Watson was born in Islington in 1847, the son of the London miniature painter William John Watson (1810-1871) and his wife Caroline (née Butcher). His brothers Charles Watson (1837-1900) and Robert Watson (1855-1921) were also artists. His father seems to have travelled around and after spending time in Brighton, the family moved to Bransford Road in Worcester during the early part of the 1860’s. As well as being taught by his father, Watson received his early training in the studio of Sir Francis Grant PRA (1803-1878). He later became a pupil of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (1802-1873) and Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899). Both Landseer and Bonheur had a great influence on his work and he began specialising in scenes of cattle and sheep. By 1866 he had become a full time artist and began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists. Perhaps to take advantage of the inspiring scenery, Watson moved to Birkenhead, Cheshire where in 1871 he met and married Eleanor Davies who was from Caernarvonshire. Four of their children Sidney Watson (1881-1931), Caroline Ellen Watson (1871-1947), William Robert Charles Watson (1873-1928) and Walter James Watson...
