Description

A very fine late 19th century landscape study by the Scottish artist Allan Ramsay, depicting workers harvesting hay in late summer. Ramsay was well known for his landscape studies of the Scottish countryside and this fine composition is typical of his work. The fine brushwork and warm colour palette create the feeling of a hazy summer afternoon. The artwork is signed and dated to the lower left. On canvas on stretchers.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age. Tere has been some restoration work, including the relining of the canvas and flecks of overpainting to the edges. There is some craquelure to the surface. There is some residue to the outer edges of the canvas.
