Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a landscape with an elevated perspective. The horizon is high in the composition, with a line of trees outlining the edge. Distant hills and a structure are visible beyond the trees. In the foreground, there is an undulating expanse of land with cattle grazing. The style features fine lines and cross-hatching to create texture. The color palette is muted with earthy tones of sepia and black.
