Created in 1878, this work exemplifies Richards' dedication to capturing the sublime beauty of natural environments with meticulous attention to detail and atmospheric effects. The painting depicts the rugged and dramatic coastline of the Orkney Islands, an archipelago situated off the northeastern coast of Scotland.

Richards' fascination with the interplay of light, water, and geological formations is evident in this piece. The artist's use of a muted color palette and precise brushwork conveys the stark, windswept beauty of the Orkney landscape. The composition is dominated by the rocky cliffs and turbulent sea, with the sky rendered in soft, diffused tones that suggest the ever-changing weather conditions typical of the region.

His works often reflect a deep reverence for the natural world, and "The Orkney Islands" is no exception. This painting not only showcases Richards' technical skill but also his ability to evoke a sense of place and mood, transporting the viewer to the remote and untamed beauty of the Orkney Islands.

Richards' career spanned several decades, during which he produced numerous landscapes and seascapes that garnered critical acclaim. His works are held in various prestigious collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
