We are offering for sale this lovely oil on canvas by the artist CHARLES W. OSWALD, who has signed the painting C.W. Oswald in the lower left hand corner. The painting depicts a Highland landscape, with a group of four shaggy, highland cattle watering at the edge of a loch, in the foreground. There is a small patch of clear sky, through which light is illuminating and lower slopes at the back of the loch. There is mist billowing over the ridge of mountains to the left of the painting and hanging over the valley to the right.

This is one of a pair of paintings by this artist that we are currently showing.
