"The Hillside or Gathering Foxgloves" is a watercolor painting by the 19th-century British artist Myles Birket Foster (1825–1899). Known for his detailed rural scenes and landscapes, Foster was a popular Victorian artist who specialized in watercolor, a medium that gained significant prestige during his lifetime. This particular work exemplifies Foster's meticulous technique and his romanticized portrayal of the English countryside.

The painting depicts a pastoral scene where figures, presumably women or children, are gathering foxgloves on a hillside. The composition is characteristic of Foster's idyllic and bucolic subject matter, capturing the tranquil beauty of nature and rural life. The foxglove, with its tall, bell-shaped flowers, is a common feature in British wildflower meadows and is often associated with folklore and medicinal history, which may add layers of meaning to the painting.

Foster's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the natural landscape, from the delicate flowers to the textures of the trees and grass. The use of light and shadow, as well as the artist's skill in capturing the effects of atmospheric perspective, contributes to the depth and realism of the scene. The figures are integrated into the landscape in a harmonious manner, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature—a theme that resonates with the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world.

"The Hillside or Gathering Foxgloves" is representative of Myles Birket Foster's work during the height of his career when he enjoyed considerable success and was highly regarded for his picturesque scenes. His paintings were widely reproduced as steel engravings and chromolithographs, making his work accessible to a broad audience and contributing to his popularity during the Victorian period.

As with many of Foster's paintings, "The Hillside or Gathering Foxgloves" would likely have been exhibited at institutions such as the Royal Academy or the Royal Watercolour Society, of which he was a member. Today, his works can be found in various art galleries and private collections, and they continue to be appreciated for their charm and technical proficiency.
