Dated 1979, the work combines strong design with close observation, transforming an ordinary pastoral scene into something highly decorative and memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003eRobertson was closely associated with the Angus countryside, and this print sits comfortably within the kind of imagery for which she is best known. The title \u003cem data-start=\"739\" data-end=\"747\"\u003eStones\u003c\/em\u003e appears to refer to the richly textured foreground, where the field is built up through intricate pattern and tonal variation, giving the composition much of its character. The sheep are placed with an assured sense of rhythm across the scene, while the hills and hedgerows beyond create a layered, gently structured landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003eThe restrained palette of soft green-grey and cream gives the print a calm, atmospheric presence, while the crisp linear handling reflects Robertson’s skill as a printmaker. Both decorative and distinctly Scottish in feeling, it is a work that would sit particularly well in an interior with an appreciation for landscape, rural subject matter and late 20th-century British printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1697\"\u003eSigned and dated lower right, titled lower centre and numbered 15\/24 lower left, the print also retains an artist’s label verso for Barbara Robertson, Douglastown, Forfar.
