"Sheep in Snow" is a painting by the Scottish artist Joseph Farquharson, renowned for his idyllic and realistic winter landscapes. Farquharson (1846–1935) was a laird from Aberdeenshire who combined his passion for art with his responsibilities as a landowner. He is often remembered for his picturesque scenes that typically capture the serene and frosty beauty of the Scottish countryside, often featuring sheep and other pastoral elements.

The painting "Sheep in Snow" is emblematic of Farquharson's oeuvre, depicting a flock of sheep amidst a snowy landscape, likely inspired by the surroundings of his estate, Finzean, in the northeast of Scotland. The composition typically showcases Farquharson's skill in rendering the softness of the snow, the texture of the sheep's wool, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which gives the scene a sense of depth and realism.

Farquharson's technique involved painting en plein air, even in the harsh conditions of winter, using a specially designed painting hut on wheels that allowed him to work outdoors and capture the transient effects of snow and light. His dedication to this method contributed to the authenticity and atmospheric quality of his winter scenes.

"Sheep in Snow" reflects Farquharson's fascination with the changing seasons and his ability to convey the quietude and harshness of the winter months. His works, including this painting, were widely popular during his lifetime, resonating with Victorian audiences who appreciated his attention to detail and his romantic yet realistic portrayal of the Scottish landscape.

As with many of Farquharson's paintings, "Sheep in Snow" would have been exhibited in art institutions such as the Royal Academy in London, where he regularly showed his work. Today, Farquharson's paintings are held in various public and private collections, and they continue to be appreciated for their technical mastery and evocative representation of rural Scotland.
