About the piece
Painted in 1812, this expansive oil landscape by Patrick Nasmyth captures the city of Edinburgh from the elevated vantage of the Braid Hills. The composition features a towering, detailed tree in the foreground and a vast, luminous sky filled with atmospheric clouds that sweep over the distant urban horizon, showcasing Nasmyth's mastery of the 'Scottish Hobbema' style.
