We are pleased to offer for sale this very large oil on canvas by the artist CLARENCE HENRY ROE, who has signed the painting Clarence Roe in the lower right hand corner and signed and entitled it verso "Silver Strand" Loch Katrine. The painting depicts a view of the foreshore (the Olde English word for foreshore is strand) of Loch Katrine in The Trossachs in Perthshire, with some highland stags watering in the shallows of the loch. In the centre background of the painting is the summit of Ben Venue, with Ellen's Isle just visible behind the pair of stags. Apparently the Silver Strand has now vanished beneath the rising waters of the loch.

CLARENCE HENRY ROE, 1850-1909, was the son of Robert Henry Roe and Emma Baily, the daughter of the sculptor of Nelson's column. His two brothers, Colin Graeme and Robert Ernest, were also listed artists. Some Dictionaries state that Clarence was born in Glasgow and some that he was born in Birmingham. He is also given an address in London at Tottenham Court Road, although Professor Dennis Child, in his book Painters in the Northern Counties of England and Wales states that he spent most of his time living a Bohemian life in his studio in Yorkshire.

He exhibited two paintings at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1887, but obviously did not need to exhibit his work constantly in order to make a living. He was a prolific painter of Highland scenes, Lake District landscapes and marine scenes, sometimes including animals and birds.

His auction results may be viewed at artprice.com (303 listings), artnet.com (166), findartinfo.com (111), askart.com (29) and arcadja.com (95). His works often appear in Hislop's Guide to the UK Art Market and in 2006, 8 of his oils were sold by Bonhams of Knowle at prices ranging from £260 - £4,800. He is listed in the Dictionary of Victorian Painters by Christopher Wood and the Dictionary of British Artists.

The painting is framed in a relatively modern 3" swept gilt frame. It is ready to hang.
