Aberdeenshire landscapes with meandering flocks of sheep, amid the rosy hues of dawning or gloaming light, are the signature elements of Farquharson's greatest works and here they are rendered with great sophistication and technical virtuosity. His love and intimate knowledge of the landscape, and his respect for the changing seasons is evident.
'There is a sense of reverence for the secrets of Nature, sympathy with various moods, joy in her winds and storms, sunshine and moonlit mysteries, with the ready command of experience and craftsmanship, and the enthusiasm of the devout lover.' (Archdeacon W M Sinclair DD, Joseph Farquharson, A.R.A., The Art Annual, Virtue & Co., London, 1912, p.30).
