Schotse hooglanders, a 19th‑century watercolour by Tom Rowden (1842) from the United Kingdom, in a classical style, depicting Highland cattle; hand‑signed and sold with frame.
Description from the seller
This refined watercolor depicts a group of Scottish Highland cattle, with meticulous attention given to their characteristic coat texture, imposing horns, and the rugged landscape in which the animals are situated. The artist masterfully captures the atmosphere of the British Highlands through a subtle handling of color and light. The detailed rendering of the animals testifies to a thorough knowledge of nature and a keen powers of observation.
The work is by Thomas Rowden (1842), a British artist who was initially trained as a carpenter and joiner. After a period of service with the Royal Marines, he settled again in Exeter in 1880, where he dedicated himself entirely to painting as a self-taught artist. His oeuvre consists mainly of landscapes with cattle, sheep, and wild ponies, set in the expansive countryside of Dartmoor and the Scottish Highlands.
Dimensions: 20 x 37 cm
Dimensions with frame: 40 x 57 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. We also make use of restorers from the industry association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be pleased to hear from you.
