W. Richards (British, late 19th century) — Scottish landscape with a herd of Highland cattle. 20 x 30 inches (51 x 76 cm). Oil on canvas, unframed. - Artwork signed lower right: "W. Richards". A Scottish Highland landscape with a group of Highland cattle drinking and crossing a body of water in the foreground. In the background, a mountain range is illuminated by the reddish light of sunset, with the sky clearing towards the horizon. The rendering of the animals' coats and the reflections on the water reveals good technical mastery, in line with the British tradition of animal and landscape painting with Scottish subjects, which was very popular in the second half of the 19th century in the wake of "Highland romanticism" inspired by Landseer.
