Little is known of the painter, whose works capture the beauty and vastness of the Scottish landscapes. Often his paintings include a lone figure in the background, engulfed by nature, a staple of Victorian landscape paintings. The inclusion of this figure offers a sense of scale to the work along with the sense of solitude that the Highlands are known for.
