Antique Scottish Highlands Loch Scene with Boatman Tranquil Signed Painting

The Highland Loch by Sidney Yates Johnson, dated 1899 signed oil on canvas, unframed Canvas : 12 x 24 inches Provenance: private collection, UK Condition: very good condition Description: This peaceful oil painting captures the beauty and tranquility of a secluded Scottish loch nestled in the heart of the mountains. A lone figure in a small green boat rows gently across the glass-like water, framed by lush greenery and trees that line the shoreline. The autumn foliage, painted in warm shades of gold and orange, contrasts beautifully with the cool tones of the distant mountain peaks and the soft, cloudy sky. Sidney Yates Johnson was a prolific painter of landscapes in oil who was working from about 1890 until about 1926. His work has a distinctive style and is similar to that of Frank Hider. The subjects are often in pairs and usually Cornish coastal scenes, beach scenes, highland landscapes and cottages in a rural setting. The artist did not often inscribe the work with the location, but it was usually dated, with the signature S. Y. Johnson scratched in the wet paint. He sometimes signed with a monogram.
