A Loch in Scotland is a 1810 graphite by George Fennel Robson, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a quiet lake nestled between tall, jagged mountains. The water is still, mirroring the sky and hills perfectly. A few cows graze near the shore, and trees with autumn leaves stand on the right side. The soft colors and gentle light make the scene feel peaceful. The artist used thin, layered washes of paint to create depth and glow. Look up watercolor, glazing to see how this technique works.
