John MacWhirter RA (Slateford, Edinburgh 1839 - London 1911) — View of Loch Lomond at sunset. 50.5 x 76.5 cm. Oil on canvas, unframed. - Signed lower left: "J. MacWhirter". - Handwritten inscription on the reverse: "Loch Lomond". John MacWhirter, a member of the Royal Academy and a student at the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, is among the most representative Scottish landscape painters of the second half of the 19th century. His work is characterized by views of the Highlands, Scottish lochs, and islands, rendered with a romantic sensibility attentive to atmospheric effects. The painting depicts Loch Lomond at sunset, with mountains reflected in the still waters of the loch. The low-angled light of the setting sun illuminates the rocks in warm tones, from red to golden brown, while the gradient sky and the reflective water surface lend the scene a contemplative atmosphere, typical of the artist's best work. A small rural cottage can be glimpsed on the right bank, the only sign of human presence in the landscape. Condition report: Original canvas, with support strips applied to the stretcher.
