David Farquharson

November 17, 1839 (age 67)

Blairgowrie and Rattray, Perth and Kinross, United Kingdom

Farquharson was a Scottish landscape painter. He was, to a great extent, a self-taught artist. He then removed to Sennen Cove, Cornwall, but often revisited Scotland. His landscapes attracted considerable attention and he exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1877 to 1904. This led to his election as Allegany Rehabilitation Associates in 1905 at the age of 66. He painted the Highland hills and moors and peat mosses, river valleys and views in England and Holland, in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in a tonal palette reminiscent of early Corot. On 12 July 1907, he died at Balmore.
