Waller Hugh Paton (British, 1828-1895) 19th century gouache painting on paper, Stock Ghyll Force, Ambleside, 1862. Signed, titled and dated lower left. Framed. Provenance: David Killen Gallery auction, April 22, 2018, lot #28. Waller Hugh Paton displayed skill as both an oil and watercolor painter. He was elected to the Royal Scottish Academy in 1865, and throughout his career, he exhibited nearly 400 paintings there. Hugh was the younger brother of the artist Sir Joseph Noel Paton, who was a good friend of the art critic and artist John Ruskin. It is likely that both brothers attended Ruskins Edinburgh lectures of 1853 on the principles of Pre-Raphaelitism, which had a great impact on Hughs work. One of a kind artwork.
