AFTER SAMUEL BOUGH, RSA (1822–1878) Cattle Crossing the Solway Oil on canvas A finely executed work after Samuel Bough, depicting herdsmen driving cattle across the tidal flats of the Solway Firth beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The composition captures the shifting light of dusk, with reflections playing across the wet sands and the expansive shoreline receding into the distance. The contrast between the illuminated horizon and the gathering storm mass on the right exemplifies the atmospheric Romanticism associated with the Scottish landscape tradition. The figures and cattle are handled with competent draughtsmanship, and the scene conveys a strong sense of mood and rural labour. Presented in a later gilt and red-moulded frame. Provenance: Private collection Brisbane, acquired from Phillip Bacon Galleries thirty years back.
