Winter

"Winter" by Joseph Farquharson exemplifies his mastery of landscape painting, capturing a quintessential Scottish winter scene at dawn or dusk. Renowned for his snowy Realism style, Farquharson often included sheep, emphasizing rural life amidst harsh conditions. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to evoke atmosphere have earned him nicknames like "'Frozen Mutton' Farquharson" and "The Painting Laird." Born in Edinburgh and passing in Aberdeenshire, his snow-draped scenes remain iconic representations of Scottish landscape art, blending nature's cold beauty with a sense of tranquility.
