Winter

Joseph Farquharson, known as "'Frozen Mutton' Farquharson" and "The Painting Laird," was a distinguished Scottish genre painter celebrated for his evocative Realism-style snowy winter landscapes. Often capturing dawn or dusk, his works depict the serene beauty of Scottish winters, frequently featuring sheep wandering through snow-covered fields. Born in Edinburgh and passing away in Finzean, Aberdeenshire, Farquharson's paintings exemplify detailed, atmospheric scenes that blend landscape with animal figures, highlighting his mastery of capturing winter’s tranquil yet stark essence in his genre painting.
