Victorian upper and middle class patrons who fled the fog of London for the Scottish Highlands commissioned artists like Arthur Foster to paint landscapes to fill their newly built villas and country estates. Quaint scenes of leisure and easy life in the midst of sprawling nature became highly sought after salves for the hustle, bustle, and strain of industrial cities. This piece perfectly captures the detail of this style, with careful shadows enshrouding the fishing figure, and the stark, bright mountains looming in the distance.
