This watercolour is delightfully free and sketchy but so sure in drawing. The hillside leads our eyes into the composition the focal points being the cattle. Knighton-Hammond’s feeling for light and colour enabled him to produce works of luminosity and clarity. The cattle are meandering and the one second from the right appearing to be looking around the tree inquisitively at the artist at work. The cattle show clever foreshortening. The trees stand majestically on top of the hill. This type of landscape, which engages with everyday subjects, appears to deliberately minimise human presence to optimise the aesthetic response to nature.
