Description: | Aldroughty House in 1844. Landscape with two tall trees on left, with one figure sitting at river bank, and one figure fishing. The house is opposite the river bank.
"In keeping with other Moir landscapes this work is influenced by the neo-classical work of Alexander Nasmyth. The repoussoir trees in particular are derived from that source. John Moir (1775-1857) was born in Peterhead and trained in Edinburgh and Rome. Initially a landscape painter he became increasingly known as a portrait painter. He painted a number of portraits of the Gordon family including '4th Duke of Gordon' now in SNPG."
