W. Richards (British, late 19th century) — Scottish landscape with a herd of Highland cattle. 51 x 76 cm. Oil on canvas, unframed. Signed lower right: "W. Richards". Landscape of the Scottish Highlands 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 of Scottish subjects, which was widespread in the second half of the 19th century following "Highland romanticism" inspired by Landseer.
