From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Highland Lassie is a 1848 by Edwin Landseer, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image depicts a young woman, likely a Highland lassie, holding a falcon. She wears a hat adorned with a flower and has long hair. The falcon is perched on her hand, and she holds a stick in her other hand. The woman's attire and the falcon suggest a connection to nature and the outdoors. The image may be a representation of a romanticized view of the Scottish Highlands. To learn more about the artistic style of this piece, explore the Romanticism movement.
