A Scottish Loch

A Scottish Loch

Gilfillan

1850

watercolor

From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum

Early 19th Century

About this work

This watercolor shows a quiet loch with rolling hills in the background. The water is calm, reflecting the soft sky, and a small boat sits near the shore. Trees line the far side, adding a touch of green to the mostly muted blues and grays. The artist used light washes to create gentle shadows, giving the scene a peaceful feel. This style was common in early 19th-century landscapes. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
