Guy Peppiatt Fine Art

Description

Watercolour over traces of pencil heightened with touches of white
26 by 36.5 cm, 10 ¼ by 14 ¼ in.

Turner of Oxford appears only to have toured the Highlands once, in the summer of 1838, and it provided Scottish subject matter for the rest of his life. His extensive tour took him to many of the wilder parts of Scotland where few other artists had been. By 5th July he was beyond Inverness at Loch Croisk and continued north to Loch Inver before turning south to Skye. His return took him along the shores of Loch Cluanie and he was at Glencoe by 4th August. Turner of Oxford exhibited `Vale of Glen Coe, near Loch Leven, Argyllshire’ at the Society of Painters in Watercolours in 1839, no. 95.
