EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases David Wilkie's masterpiece, "A Highland Family" painted in 1823. The original medium of this artwork is oil on wood, measuring 18.4 x 22.9 inches. Immersed in the enchanting Scottish highlands, the painting depicts a traditional family scene from the 19th century. In this picturesque landscape, a family stands proudly against a distant horizon adorned with majestic mountains. Their attire reflects their heritage and way of life - the father dons a tunic and flat cap while barefooted, while the mother wears an apron over her smock and pinafore along with a bonnet atop her head. The children playfully interact with their loyal collie dog at their feet, emphasizing the strong bond between humans and animals in rural communities. The artist masterfully captures every detail – from the intricate folds of clothing to each strand of hair on their heads. Wilkie's pastiche skillfully combines elements of costume and scenery to transport viewers back to this bygone era. Through his brushstrokes, he immortalizes not only this particular family but also provides us with insight into life during that time period. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate Wilkie's talent as well as experience firsthand the beauty and simplicity of highland living in all its glory.
