Royal Volunteer Review, 7 August 1860 is a 1860 oil by Samuel Bough, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts a lively outdoor scene, with a large crowd of people gathered on a grassy hillside. They are dressed in formal attire, with men wearing top hats and women in long dresses. In the foreground, several people are seated on the ground, while others stand or sit on horseback. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a distant cityscape, with a few buildings and a church steeple visible in the distance. The sky above is a brilliant blue, dotted with white clouds. The level of detail in this painting is impressive, with each figure and object rendered with precision and care. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the scene is about to unfold before our eyes.
