Description

We are offering for sale a lovely oil on canvas by the artist CHARLES W. OSWALD, who has signed the painting C.W. Oswald in the lower right hand corner. The painting depicts a Highland landscape, with a group of four shaggy, highland cattle watering at the edge of a loch, in the foreground. There is a small patch of clear sky, through which light is illuminating the lower slopes at the back of the loch. There is mist billowing over the ridge of mountains to the left of the painting and hanging over the valley to the right.

CHARLES W. OSWALD was a Liverpool artist who, though very prolific, exhibited very little. He specialised in highland landscapes, rural scenes and painting featuring cattle and and working horses painted in oils.

He is listed in The Dictionary of British Artists, Painters in the Northern Counties of England and Wales by Dennis Child and A Dictionary of Neglected Artists by Jeremy Wood.
