Footnote
Sutherland lived at Cults at Aberdeenshire during his tenure as Head of Gray's School of Art (1936-1948). This afforded him easy access to the picturesque Kincarshineshire landscape, located just to the south of his hometown. This oil contains all the painterly confidence for which Sutherland's work is renowned, exemplified by the dwelling to the composition's centre which is articulated using only three or four strokes of distinct pigment.
