FREDERICK WALKER, A.R.A., R.W.S. (1840-1875)

The present drawing dates to 1867, when Walker took his habitual holiday to Scotland with the sporting artist Richard Ansdell. They stayed at Corrichoillie on the River Spean, Inverness-shire, and spent the first two weeks of their time fishing, before Walker set out to find subjects to paint, and begun this watercolour, which he finished in London later in the year.
