An original early 20th century oil painting depicting Highland cattle within a mountainous landscape, signed C.W. Middleton and dated 1909.

The composition features cattle gathered near a loch, with rolling hills and distant peaks forming a balanced and atmospheric backdrop.

The painting demonstrates careful attention to natural detail, with layered brushwork capturing the texture of the landscape, water, and foliage.

The Highland cattle are rendered with character, positioned to create depth within the scene.

The artwork is presented within a decorative gilt frame, featuring moulded detailing that complements the traditional subject matter.

The reverse retains its original backing, consistent with period framing methods.

C.W. Middleton is known for landscape and rural scenes, and works of this nature reflect the continued popularity of Highland subjects in early 20th century British art.

A well-presented and traditional landscape painting, suitable for collectors or interior display.
