About the piece
Painted in 1769 by Scottish artist Alexander Runciman, this classical oil on panel work exemplifies the 18th-century landscape tradition. Large, leafy trees anchor the foreground, sheltering two seated figures while the background opens into a soft, golden vista of rolling hills and distant structures, all bathed in the atmospheric light of a setting sun.
