William Watson Jnr British, (1847-1921) On the Mountains, Loch Awe Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1892, further inscribed verso Image size: 12.5 inches x 18.5 inches Size including frame: 18.5 inches x 24.5 inches A wonderful painting of Highland sheep resting near Loch Awe by William Watson Jnr.

Four of their children Sidney Watson (1881-1931), Caroline Ellen...
