Description: | According to the artist's label on the back, this watercolour dates from August 1891. Women are harvesting oats, which is a late summer activity. Although extremely large, the picture is painted in Myles Birket Foster's usual technique of tiny strokes of the brush. The strong colour of the picture was possible due to Foster's use of opaque watercolour paint. Quite thick paint has been used on the figures, whilst the colour is more thinly applied in the background. Scenes showing the Highlands of Scotland were very popular in the Victorian period. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists animals watercolours views art children men natural world women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
