Scotch Firs is a 1810 watercolor by David Cox, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two tall trees, likely Scotch Firs, standing on a hill. The trees are brown and have many branches. The background is blue and has white clouds. The trees are painted in a way that makes them look strong and powerful. The blue background and white clouds make the scene look peaceful. The style of this painting is similar to that of other Romanticism artists. You can learn more about this style by looking up Romanticism.
