Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image depicts a landscape with a body of water reflecting the scenery. A line of trees separates the water from hills and mountains. The sun is seen in the distance with rays casting light on the mountains. The brushstroke technique shows delicate and linear movement. The color palette is soft sepia tones. Close to us, faint etchings suggest vegetation near the water.
