Frank Walters (British, late 19th century) - Highland Cattle by the Lake. 51.5 x 76.5 cm (unframed) - 57 x 82 cm (framed). Oil on canvas, in a gilded wooden frame. Work signed lower left: "F. Walters". Frank Walters is a British painter active between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specializing in the depiction of the Scottish landscape and Highland cattle. His work follows in the tradition of British animal painting, which in the 19th century had found its most famous exponent in Edwin Landseer, elevating the figure of Highland cattle to a painterly noble subject of great commercial success. In this painting, three cattle with thick red and tawny manes are depicted on the shore of a mountain lake, in an autumnal landscape dominated by cloudy skies and mountainous masses rendered with pasty touches. The diffused light filtering through the clouds animates the water's surface and gives the scene a melancholic and contemplative atmosphere, typical of Romantic painting with Nordic subjects.
