JOSEPH FARQUHARSON, RA (1846-1935) THE DAY WAS SLOPING TOWARDS HIS WESTERN BOWER Signed, oil on canvas 99 x 150cm. Provenance: London, Christies, July 20th, 1923, lot 136 (as `A Winter's Night`), sold for 125 gns. Described as `Exhibited in Hull 1906`. * A twilight version of this subject, 51 x 76cm, was shown at The Royal Academy in 1912 (no.147) and was sold at at auction by Sothebys at Gleneagles on August 27th 2003 (lot 1184). A slightly smaller version still, painted in 1910, was shown at The Fine Art Society in 1985 and was probably the one sold at Lawrences on April 24th 2010 (lot 1643, 30 x 45cm, see illustration). Scholars were aware of the existence of this large and atmospheric moonlit version, which has been in a family collection of long standing for many years. Frost and Reed issued a colour print of the twilight variant of this subject in 1913 and, as the artist's principal publishers, sold thousands of copies of reproductions of dozens of works by him. Farquharson produced versions of his major works to satisfy demand from collectors. Other versions were produced for engravers and etchers to study. His skill at capturing the chilling stillness of a winter day was often caught in half light as the setting sun or rising moon struck long shadows across the drifts of snow in defiance of any photographer's eye. Warmly wrapped up against harsh Scottish winter weather, Farquharson perfected his technique in remote rural glades. Archdeacon William Macdonald Sinclair, writing in The Art Annual of 1913, praised the artist's `sense of reverence for the secrets of Nature` and observed his `sympathy for her various moods, joy in her wind and storms, sunshine and moonlit mysteries..`. Sinclair detected a spiritual element in Farquharson's compositions: `There is not one of [his] pastoral landscapes which is not treated from the contemplative or poetic point of view ... the exquisite beauty of rare tints in the sun or moon on deep snow surfaces and seen through leafless trees.. and the varied voices with which Nature elevates us .. in her countless moods". £50000-80000
