What subjects appear in these paintings?

These artworks depict Scottish inland lochs, mountainous terrain, and misty valleys, frequently featuring grazing Highland cattle or sheep along the shoreline. Many pieces reference specific geographical locations across Scotland. The compositions emphasise the dramatic weather, changing light, and vast scale of the northern landscape during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

How should I hang oil paintings?

Heavy framed oil paintings require secure wall fixings anchored directly into masonry or solid studs to support their substantial weight safely. Ensure the chosen wall space avoids direct, harsh sunlight and excessive humidity. Keep the artworks away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the canvas and wooden stretchers from warping or cracking over time.

How do I date a Victorian landscape?

Dating relies on examining the stretcher construction, canvas type, framing style, and any artist signatures or inscriptions found on the reverse. Victorian works often display specific nineteenth-century framing techniques and distinct registration marks. Examine the backboards and labels for remnants of old gallery exhibitions or handwritten notes left by previous owners or the artist.

Are watercolours more fragile?

Watercolour paintings on paper are more sensitive to light exposure than oil paintings and require placement away from direct illumination. Framing behind protective glass shields the delicate pigments and paper supports from atmospheric pollutants. Keep these lighter works in stable indoor environments to prevent the paper from yellowing or sustaining moisture damage.
