A wonderful beach seascape of the West Coast Scotland by William Langley ( Working 1890 to 1920). The painting of the rugged Scottish coastline features a sandy beach with a rock outcrop framing the gentle waves lapping on the shore with sail boats in the distance, contrasted against a cloudy sky.

One of his favourite subjects were Scenes of the Scottish Highlands often featuring cattle. He is mentioned in Hidden Talents. A dictionary of Neglected Artists Working 1880-1950 by Jeremy Wood (published 1994): "Painter in oil of rural landscapes and coastal scenes who was working in the early 1900s.  The subjects of this prolific artist included views in Cornwall, the South of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.  Among the titles of known works are 'On the Lledr', 'Wee Bridge, Killarney', 'In the Glen', and 'Sunshine after Rain, a Village in the Thames'.  The work shows a distinct similarity to that of several artists working at the time and the signature could possibly be a pseudonym. The pictures are often large and decorative and have become increasingly popular in recent years." Our reference: A4724
