A Highland Sportsman is a 1832 oil by Alexander George Fraser, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
In this painting, a man stands in a rustic room, holding a rifle and a bundle of sticks. He is dressed in traditional Scottish attire, including a kilt and a tam o' shantern. To his right, a woman sits on a stool, holding a child in her lap. The room is dimly lit, with a fire burning in the fireplace. The walls are made of rough-hewn wood, and the floor is covered in dirt. The atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet intimacy, with the family gathered together in their humble home. The use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The painting is held at the Scottish National Gallery.
Alexander George Fraser (1786–1865) was a Scottish genre and domestic painter who exhibited his paintings at the Royal Academy in London for many years.
