Description

We are offering for sale this 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 small herd of shaggy, highland cattle watering at the edge of a loch, in the foreground. There is a small patch of clear sky, through which the sun is illuminating the tops of the mountains at the back of the loch. There is mist billowing over the ridge of mountains to the right of the painting.
