On the Clunie, Aberdeenshire is a 1852 watercolor by Thomas Miles Richardson, a Hudson River School Movement work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour from 1852 shows a Scottish landscape by Thomas Miles Richardson Senior. It’s a quiet scene, more about the place than the people. Richardson often sketched in Scotland. Here he added tiny figures just to give the scene life. Like old watercolourists, they feel like small details, not the main show. Check out his other works at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Thomas Miles Richardson, born in Newcastle, produced this 1852 watercolour landscape titled *On the Clunie, Aberdeenshire*. The scene depicts a rural setting in Aberdeenshire, with added figures intended to enhance visual interest, a stylistic choice reminiscent of 18th-century watercolour traditions. Richardson frequently traveled to Scotland for sketching tours, and this work reflects his approach to landscape painting during that period.
