Gustave Doré. Scottish Landscape. 1873. France. Black crayon and brush and brown and gray wash, with touches of pen and black ink, on cream laid paper, laid down on cream board Doré visited Scotland in April, 1873, with plans to enjoy salmon fishing, but after several tries he abandoned fishing and preferred to occupy himself with his sketchbook. He drew landscapes of the Highlands, Aberdeenshire, Braemer, Balmoral, and Ballater, and in his travels experimented for the first time with the exclusive use of watercolor.
