Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image displays a landscape with a high vantage point overlooking an expansive scene. The horizon line is positioned above the central point of the composition, with distant mountains and a band of trees in view. The brushstrokes evoke an impressionistic style for the terrain and sky, with loose and airy strokes. The color palette consists of soft tones of blues, purples, and earthy yellows. The foreground shows pale yellows and greys, suggesting open fields or plains. Further back, there are hints of darker earth tones and strokes indicating a body of water reflecting the sky. The sky is pale blue with clouds and lightens towards the horizon.
