William Henry Pigott
William Henry Pigott, Highland Cattle Beside A Loch, Oil Painting

1881

About the Item

This mid-19th-century oil painting by British artist William Henry Pigott (1835-1901) depicts a Scottish loch with highland cattle. A lake, enlivened with ripples of reflected light, bends around rugged scenery. Its light blue punctuated by darker tones before disappearing. In the foreground, several highland cattle wander amid scattered foliage - captured with a few deft marks. Pigott’s modest approach to nature describes its various moods with humility. Note the gentle haze of tinted mists, which calms the imposing peaks. And the sinuous copse on the far left that guides the eye towards a veiled horizon. At every juncture, he seeks to underplay the power of this loch, while elevating its sense of abundant mystery. Signed/dated lower right and held within a period gilt frame.
