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.

Country Cottage
By Abraham Hulk the Younger
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Late 19th/early 20th century oil on canvas painting in the manner of Abraham Hulk the Younger (1851-1922), this painting was acquired by Saltire Gallerie with a larger painting signed by Hulk the Younger, (just SOLD).

Exhibition Size Painting
A fantastic exhibition sized landscape painting of sheep on a cliff top by the coast by Charles ‘Sheep’ Jones. At the time he produced this painting, Jones was living at Heathercroft, Balham Hill in London. Given the size and quality of the work it was most likely an exhibition piece. The topography and landscape suggest that this is the Dorset coast, one of his favourite places to paint.
Charles Jones was an animal painter who was born in Stepney, London in 1836. He was the son of the artist Samuel John Egbert Jones (1797-1861) and Dinah Jones. He lived with his parents and 9 siblings in Mile End and was a pupil of his father. In September 1859, he married Frances Rosalinda Downe, who was born in America. His son Arthur Bertram Loud (1863-1930) also became an artist. They lived at 12 Hayes Place, Lisson Grove from where he made his debut in London at the Royal Academy in 1861. He also exhibited at the British Institution, Suffolk Street, New Watercolour Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
By 1867, he had become a successful artist and they had moved to 7 Paragon Place, Brixton Hill. From 1874 he lived at Heathercroft, Balham Hill where he spent the rest of his life. Jones became well known for specialising in paintings of sheep, cattle and deer in landscape settings. He spent his time travelling around visiting areas such as Devon, Dorset, Kent, Sussex and the Highlands. However, it is for his skilful painting of sheep that he is perhaps best known, and for which earned him the nickname of ‘Sheep’ Jones.
As well as the major London galleries, he also exhibited provincially at various locations including: the Royal Cambrian Academy where he was elected a member in 1886, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, Manchester City Art Gallery, Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Birmingham and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Some of the smaller more intimate galleries he exhibited at were Arthur Tooth & Sons and Thomas...
