A winding river cuts through rocky terrain, framed by delicately observed trees and receding blue mountains beneath a luminous evening sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRichardson’s refined draughtsmanship is beautifully evident in the precision of the landscape elements, while scratched highlights and subtle bodycolour create exceptional depth and atmospheric light. The golden hour palette enhances the romantic grandeur of the scene, reflecting the 19th-century fascination with Scotland’s wild scenery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a collector-grade example with major auction house provenance, combining historical importance, aesthetic appeal, and strong decorative presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThomas Miles Richardson Senior (1784–1848) was one of the most accomplished British Romantic landscape painters of the early 19th century.

His works are held in major public collections including the British Museum and the Laing Art Gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Date\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCirca 1830s–1840s (Early Victorian period).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChristie’s, London, 24 May 2011, Lot 508.
