WALLER HUGH PATON RSA (SCOTTISH 1828-1895), THE BRIDGE OF TURK oil on canvas, signed verso, titled and dated 1867 on a fixed plaque 48cm x 72cm Framed Note: The plaque suggests the title is ""The Bridge of Turk"" but this probably indicates that the picture was originally exhibited in London as it would certainly have been titled ""Brig O` Turk"" if it was to be exhibited in Scotland. Brig O` Turk (bridge of the wild boar) is a small rural community in The Trossachs (a range of hills near Stirling). For generations, monarchs, poets, writers and painters have visited the area for inspiration, of which there is plenty. Some notable characters include Queen Victoria, Millais and Ruskin, William Wordsworth and the Glasgow Boys. Paton frequently worked in this area and much of his finest work featured Trossachs scenes including ""Loch Achray"" (seen in the background of ""Brig O` Turk"") which was sold by Phillips (Edinburgh) 25th August 2000 lot 948 for 53,000 (hammer).
