McTague of Harrogate has dated this piece to the 1920s.
In 1928 he did a series of etchings of Halifax, and provided illustrations for Hanson's Old Inns of Halifax (1933). He exhibited at many galleries and shows throughout the U.K. After WWII, and in the Spring Exhibition of 1949, he gave his address as Norland, Parc Bean, St Ives. He and his wife both died in St Ives. In 1962 a Memorial Exhibition was held in Bankfield, near Halifax, Yorkshire, where he was born and began to show his artistic talents; a further show of his work was held there in 1973.
The present painting is signed lower right and inscribed with the title "Timber Stack, Holy Loch" and the inscription "Accepted R.A." It measures 10"x 15" and is mounted and framed giving an overall size of 16"x 22".
