1887
About the Item
This superb Scottish Impressionist Victorian expansive landscape oil painting is by noted Scottish artist David Farquharson. Painted in 1887 it is entitled verso Mayday on the Annan. The River Annan is a river in south-west Scotland. It rises on Annanhead Hill and flows through the Devil's Beef Tub, Moffat and Lockerbie, reaching the sea at Annan, Dumfries and Galloway after about 40 miles. In the foreground are highland cattle with their fantastic horns. Beyond them the rive Annan snakes across a flat landscape to trees and mountains in the distance. The yellow gorse is in bloom in the fields and in the foreground a may bush is covered in white blossom. The landscape is beautifully illuminated by the sun coming through patchy white clouds. The brushwork and colours are just beautiful. This is an excellent example of Scottish Victorian art and a lovely example of Farquharson's work, painting an area he loved.
Signed and dated '87 lower left and signed with initials and inscribed verso.
Provenance. Scottish estate.
Condition. Oil on canvas. Image size is 36 inches by 22 inches and in good condition.

David Farquharson ARA (17 November 1839 – 12 July 1907) was a Scottish painter. Farquharson was a Scottish landscapist. He was born in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, and lived there until he moved to Edinburgh about 1872. He was, to a great extent, a self-taught artist. He exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy for the first time in 1868, and in 1882 was elected an associate, but in 1886 he settled in London until 1894. He removed to Sennen Cove, Cornwall, but often revisited Scotland. His landscapes attracted considerable attention and he exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1877 to 1904. This led to his election as Associate in 1905 at the age of 66. He painted the Highland hills and moors and peat mosses, river valleys and views in England and Holland, in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in a tonal palette reminiscent of early Corot. On 12 July 1907, he died at Balmore.

Young Man with Two Dogs in a Landscape - British Edwardian art oil painting
Located in London, GB
This superb British Edwardian figurative landscape oil painting is by noted animal artist Edwin Noble. Painted in 1904 it is a large and detailed painting of a young man, kneeling in a grassy thicket with his two dogs, a lurcher and terrier. He is restraining the dogs whilst his ferret goes down a rabbit hole in the hedgerow. Two dead rabbits are already lying on the grass beside them. Beyond is a county landscape of fields and trees. The young man in his stripped shirt and waistcoat and the two white dogs really stand out in the mass of greenery around them as do the white wild flowers at their feet. The detail and brushwork are superb. This is an excellent example of Edwin Noble's work as an animal painter in the Edwardian period and also depicts country pursuits.
