Daniel Sherrin
Mountain landscape with watering cattle

early 20th century

About the Item

Crisply detailed mountain landscape with watering cattle, this early 20th century oil painting is by renowned landscape artist Daniel Sherrin (1868-1940). Sherrin's work is distinctive for his short brush strokes and trees reflected in water in an impressionistic style. Mountain Landscape with Watering Cattle is done in oil paint on canvas, in a likely original decorative frame. Sherrin is an British artist known for painting landscapes with mountains touched by light. In this painting the majestic mountain ridge rises the trees. The sky is lit with sunny yellow tones, then blue and cloud, with cloudy mist by the water beneath the mountain peaks. In the foreground cattle are in the water, with the impressionistic reflections of autumnal trees behind them. In some instances, Sherrin used the pseudonym L. Richards to sign his painting, and this painting bears that signature in the lower right corner. On the left side the green hill is reflected in deeper color. The painting composition draws the viewer in through the water to the base of the mountain and the glowing mist. The canvas sight is 15.5" high and 23" wide, and the frame dimensions are 21" by 28" including the decorative molding. The frame is in overall very good condition with no losses. The back of the frame indicates a prior restoration that has been completed. The painting shows imperfections consistent with age and framing. However, the overall presence is very good, with rich color and visual clarity of all objects and light. There are gallery tags on the back, one referring to exhibition 1870-1890. The latter date is possible, but not the earlier one, or it does not belong to this painting. This work is fine in its detail and crispness, its impressionistic light and mist, and reflections in the water. Well-priced painting for work by Daniel Sherrin, aka L. Richards. Ready for your wall, to be enjoyed as it is.

The Trossachs, Scotland
By Alfred de Breanski Jnr.
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Landscape painting of The Trossachs, Scottish Highlands, 20th century is after renowned landscape artist Alfred De Breanski, Jnr, (1877-1955). As in this painting, De Breanski established a reputation for his distinctive vivid greens and color in impressionistic style within realism of his subject. This mountain scene with lake and watering cattle demonstrates the oeuvre of this artist, and also his father Alfred de Breanski Sr. This is a particularly beautiful landscape painting of Scotland, in a favorite natural region by Perthshire. 'The Trossachs' shows fine brushstrokes in the clouds, and area of raised paint over the ground. Light is captured on misty hillsides, and reflected in the water. De Breanski studied at St Martins School of Art, England, but had the benefit of his father, his mother and his Uncle who were all successful artists of their time, and their work continues to be highly sought after for the detail and light captured in plein art...

Kirkton Bridge, Balquhidder
By JD Henderson
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Impressionist/Post impressionist style painting 'Kirkton Bridge, Balquhidder' by Scottish contemporary artist JD Henderson, is a Monet-like image of a Scottish bridge in Balquhidder, the Clan homeland of McLaren in central Scotland. Dated 1995 (verso) and signed by the artist in the lower right corner, the painting is on canvas with oil paint in a new gold frame. JD Henderson is described as a 20th century Scottish Colourist and a landscape artist, using impressionism and post impressionism styles. 'Kirkton Bridge' demonstrates the Colourist trend, but also broader brushstrokes and thick applications of paint from post impressionism that gives the subject matter priority over fleeting naturalistic color and light. The actual bridge and water...
