John Barrett
Highland Cattle Beside Stream

19th century

About the Item

Scottish Highland mountains, river rapids and heather on the hill with cows, this 19th century impressionist watercolor is bright and fresh. Signed by the artist, John Barrett (1822-1898), on the lower left side. This painting is aptly titled 'Highland Cattle Beside a Stream'. A note on the back indicates the painting may have been done late in Barrett's career, in 1895. The note also indicates a small town, Mary Tavy, Dartmoor in southwest England as a likely residence of the artist. John Barrett is a British artist, known for watercolor and oil paintings. The impressionist style is enhanced with a range of fresh pastel color; early autumn pale yellow leaves, soft blue mountain, pinks and lavendars, with a clear white light cast over the work, especially around the stream. The watercolour is in excellent condition in a newer frame presented with matting under glass, measuring about 22" in height and 31" in width. Ready to hang on your wall!

  • View of Dunoon on the Clyde
    Located in Hillsborough, NC
    Scottish artist Robert Carrick (1829-1904) is renowned for his landscape and figurative paintings in oil and watercolor. This painting features detailed drawings of figures in the foreground with wagon, and the town and scenery in the background, painted over in watercolor in rich raw umber and red-brown tones in the foreground and blue green tones in the background. Carrick showed promise at a young age, exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy age 16. He was a member of the Royal Institute. This two-toned watercolor work has detailed figures, wagon with hay in the forefront above a view of Dunoon town near Glasgow as it was long ago. Signed by the artist, lower left with an inscription that reads: 'View of Dunoon, Argyllshire drawn by Robert Carrick, Glasgow, for David Allan'. Verso includes a copy of the same inscription. Saltire Gallerie replaced the cracked and dirty plain glass with art glass and added an acid-free paper behind the work. While doing this work we found an art giclee, included with the painting. Presented in a patterned wooden frame with art glass. Dunoon was a thriving town on the river at the time of this work, and later became part of Glasgow. The view from above the town is a popular one, as Saltire Gallerie has another view of Dunoon from above by Scottish artist Patrick Downie...
