Douglas Cameron
Highland Cattle Watering

1880-1910

About the Item

Highland Cattle Watering is a landscape/cattle painting, late 19th century/early 20th Century by Scottish artist Douglas Cameron. This is an oil painting on canvas with highly decorative gilt frame, signed by the artist in the left hand corner, painted in his prime period, known to flourish from 1880-1910. Cameron is known for painting the Scottish countryside, landscapes and cattle, such as this loch with mountains and Highland cows. In this painting there is the cattle by a loch with naturalistic light on the mountainside. The croft cottages are reminiscent of the home of poet Robbie Burns. Cameron's paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout Scotland. Acquired by Saltire Gallerie and imported to the USA. Highland Cattle Watering is in a likely original period ornate gilt frame measuring 29" high by 39" wide. The frame is in good condition, with a loss on the lower right side and other imperfections/minor losses consistent with the age and patina of the gold gilt. The frame was regilded in very small areas by Saltire Gallerie to blend with the patina. The oil paint remains with good color, no losses or flaking, and with no defects noted. 'Highland Cattle Watering' is painted with impressionistic color and light in brighter greens and blues, as seen in other Highland paintings by this artist, 'Hillside Road in the Highlands' sold by Saltire Gallerie as an example. The scene is idyllic and restful, in a naturalistic plein art style. In overall very good condition, ready to hang!

  • Goosander Birds On Ice Floes. Oil on Canvas 1918
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    A female and male Goosander bird on ice floes. In the center of the painting there is a smaller opening in the ice covered waters. This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914. In the years 1914–1917 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and started with animal painting in the spirit of Bruno Liljefors. Our painting is from this period just after he finished his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1921, he studied in Berlin and Dresden which was followed by a trip to Egypt in 1925. In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened. Made sketch drawings at the free academies Colarossi and La Grande Chaumière and in 1927 he met the Swedish artist Erik Olson...
