Pair of 19C J Saile Scottish Highland Watercolors

Offered by: Rockwell Antiques Dallas

Description
Presenting a lovely pair of 19C J Saile Scottish Highland watercolors.

Both watercolors feature a Scottish Highland scene with mountain in the background, mist, rock outcrops, heather, lochs or drinking pools etc.

From circa 1880 by the artist “J. Saile”. Both signed, one on the bottom right the other left.

We cannot find any record for the artist but in our opinion these watercolors are quite accomplished !

Framed and under glass they are in very good original condition.

The Highlands (Scots: the Hielands; Scottish Gaelic: a’ Ghàidhealtachd [? '????l??t???xk], ‘the place of the Gaels‘) is a historic region of Scotland.[1] Culturally, the Highlands and the Lowlands diverged from the later Middle Ages into the modern period, when Lowland Scots replaced Scottish Gaelic throughout most of the Lowlands. The term is also used for the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, although the exact boundaries are not clearly defined, particularly to the east. The Great Glen divides the Grampian Mountains to the southeast from the Northwest Highlands. The Scottish Gaelic name of A’ Ghàidhealtachd literally means “the place of the Gaels” and traditionally, from a Gaelic-speaking point of view, includes both the Western Isles and the Highlands.
The Scottish Highlands are renowned for their natural beauty and are a popular subject in art.
