"Highland Cattle by a Stream in Full Spate" is a painting by the Scottish artist Peter Graham (1836–1921), known for his landscapes and animal paintings. This particular work, dated to the late 19th or early 20th century, captures the rustic beauty of the Scottish Highlands, a subject for which Graham had a particular affinity and which he returned to throughout his career.

The painting features the iconic Highland cattle, with their long horns and shaggy coats, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous stream, or 'spate', indicative of the fast-flowing rivers swollen by heavy rains or snowmelt, common in the rugged Scottish terrain. Graham's skill in rendering the texture of the cattle's fur and the dynamic movement of water showcases his mastery of both animal portraiture and the depiction of the natural environment.

As a member of the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Graham's works were widely exhibited and celebrated during his lifetime. "Highland Cattle by a Stream in Full Spate" exemplifies the romantic and picturesque qualities associated with the Scottish landscape genre, and it contributes to the visual record of Scotland's rural heritage as seen through the lens of Victorian art.

The painting's composition, with its attention to detail and atmospheric effects, reflects the influence of the broader European landscape tradition, while also highlighting Graham's personal and nationalistic interest in the distinctive character of his homeland. Today, the work is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural significance, capturing a way of life and a natural environment that has undergone significant change since Graham's time.
