Specialist note

In the summer of 1873 Hunt stayed with John Ruskin at Brantwood on Lake Coniston. From there he made an excursion to Scotland. Hunt exhibited another watercolour of Loch Maree, lifting of the mists at sunset at the Old Water-Colour Society, Summer 1877, no. 17, probably the one, dated 1876, included in the Humphrey Roberts sale in these Rooms, 21 May 1908. The present view of Loch Maree looks across to Beinn Slioch.
