19th Century John Hamilton Glass Scottish Watercolor Landscape - A 19th-century Scottish landscape watercolor on paper by John Hamilton Glass. The work depicts a traditional rural farmstead featuring a white-walled cottage with a red-tiled roof and several adjoining outbuildings. A tranquil stream flows in the foreground, bordered by a rustic post-and-rail fence and two prominent trees with autumn foliage. The composition utilizes soft washes in the sky and a muted, naturalistic palette to capture a pastoral scene. The watercolor is signed in the lower-left corner in brown pigment. The signature reads Hamilton Glass in a cursive script. The painting is housed under glass within a beveled gilt-wood frame. The verso is secured with two wooden backing boards and retains fragments of an old newspaper backing along the edges. No other maker marks or labels are present. Height: Approximately 12 inches Width: Approximately 18 inches.
