Lot Essay

Painted on the Finzean estate, A Winter Evening is an important and rare example of Farquharson's late style. Each year between 1894 and 1935 Farquharson exhibited one or more snowscapes at the Royal Academy. Amongst them were two paintings bearing the same title: A Winter Evening. The first, in 1928, which has a different composition from our painting. The second, exhibited in 1934 is not illustrated, and while Farquharson did re-use titles a number of times, we can probably identify it as this painting, based on the title, size and frame.
