Description: | Sir Edwin Landseer was best known for his realistic, though often very sentimental portrayals of animals. One of his most famous paintings was another Highland scene `The Monarch of the Glen'. Paintings such as these played a strong part in forging Scottish identity and our ideas about Highlanders.
Oil painting showing three figures dressed in Scottish dress, at rest, in the Highlands. There are two dead deer, one lay across a white horse. There is a small child with a fishing rod. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Animals Scottish Childhood Fine arts Women Oil painting Native animals Adults Wild animals Mountains Fishing Families and children Deer Scottish history Deer hunting Men Countryside Landscape Oil Paintings Horses Animals (wild) Children Victorian period Horse riding Highlands Scotland People and roles Plants and animals Paintings Narrative painting Dogs Family Fish Hunting People Rural life Country life Glens Art collections Rural areas | Temporal: | 1824 - 1828
