About the Item

This beautiful oil-on-canvas painting of sheep on a hillside, dated 1915 is by the British Victorian artist Robert Watson. Robert William Watson was born in Brighton, Sussex in 1855. He was the son of the highland landscape artist William Watson (1809-1871). In 1880, he married Alice Ashcroft and they moved to Aughton, Lancashire, England. They had three daughters, Gertrude, Beatrice and Florence. Watson came from a family of painters who excelled in Cattle and Highland landscape paintings. He exhibited a number of his works across the UK including Liverpool and Glasgow. Queen Victoria was an avid collector of Scottish works of art which made Watson's Highland scenes incredibly popular in the late 19th Century. Robert Watson’s works can be found in collections at the Williamson Art Gallery, Astley Hall Museum & Art Gallery, Brighton & Hove Museum, Maidstone Museum, Burnley Town Hall, Towneley Hall Art Gallery & the Harris Museum. Robert Watson died on 31 August 1921 in the Ramsey Cottage Hospital, Ramsey, Isle of Man. Ref: E.

The father's mastery of the brush, and popularity with the nobility, served his son, Herring, Jr., well. Early on, John, Jr. was exposed to fine painting and wealthy patrons. Recent reference books state that Herring, Sr.'s first child was named "John Frederick Herring, Jr." and was born on June 21, 1815. John Herring, Jr. developed a love for painting, a passion also shared by his brothers Charles and Benjamin. Three of the four brothers became artists, painting in the same style as their father, often collaborating on a single painting. In the years after 1836, Herring, Sr., feeling threatened by the teenage John Herring, Jr.'s ability and growing popularity, began incorporating the tag "SR" at the end of his signature.
