Life
Farquharson was a Scottish landscapist. He was born in Blairgowrie,
Royal Academy
from 1877 to 1904.
This led to his election as Associate in 1905 at the age of 66.[1]
He painted the Highland hills and moors and peat mosses, river valleys and views in England and Holland, in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in a tonal palette reminiscent of early Corot.[2]
On 12 July 1907, he died at Balmore.[1]
