1905
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
A Scottish River is a 1905 by David Young Cameron, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet river winding through flat land. On the left, a clump of dark, tangled trees sits near the water’s edge. The right side has a few lone bushes, and the far bank fades into a light, hazy line. The paper is yellowed, with faint marks and smudges around the edges. The artist signed it in the corner—*"A Scottish River"*—and dated it roughly. The loose, quick lines suggest they worked fast, maybe outdoors. Next, check out Impressionism to see how this sketch fits into that movement.
Sir David Young Cameron (28 June 1865 – 16 September 1945) was a Scottish painter and, with greater success, etcher, mostly of townscapes and landscapes in both cases. He was a leading figure in the final decades of the Etching Revival.
