Inscription: SIR EDWIN LANDSEER. R.A. DEL.T //
Stamp: WITT / LIBRARY //
Label: HARVEST-TIME IN THE SCOTTISH / HIGHLANDS. / THE picture of which this is the original sketch was exhibited at the Royal / Academy in 1833 as "Harvest in the Highlands," and it is one of the / five pictures in which Landseer is known to have received help from / other artists; the landscape being in this case the work of Sir A. W. / Callcott, R.A. / In working out the sketch the figure in the cart was left out; but the omission / makes little difference. There are also some slight changes, scarecly to the advantage / of the painting, in the figures assembled in the foreground. / Landseer paid his first visit to the Highlands five or six years before the date of / this picture, viz. in 1825 or 1826. Perhaps this had not allowed him time to form / that full appreciation of Highland surroundings which he afterwards evidenced; at / any rate, competent judges refuse to rank this picture with his best Highland pieces. / An engraving by J. T. Willmore, A.R.A., of the actual painting was published / some years ago by the Art Union of London; but the sketch has not yet come into the / hands of any other engraver than Mr. C. G. Lewis. / The original sketch is in the possession of A. Harris, Esq., Lanefield, Kirkby / Lonsdale. //
