Description: | Landscape view of Dunnottar Castle from the far beach on the left hand side of the castle. There are two boats on the horizon, and three figures on the rocks in the foreground. Beyond the figures, there are sheep grazing on the grass.
"MacDonald (1829-1901) was from Morayshire but settled in Edinburgh. He trained at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh under Robert Scott Lauder with such notables as G.P. Chalmers. Initially he built a reputation as a figure painter but later concentrated on landscape. This work is characteristic with the slightly gestural handling of the paint and the reliance on a standard, and by then slightly outmoded, late Romantic view of Scottish landscape."
