Thick stone walls frame the view on every side, the sill warmed by light and the blocks shaded in honey and brown. Outside, slender birches and mauve heather fall away down the slope to the water, and the loch winds off between wooded headlands into hills veiled in mist. The contrast between the warm room and the cool, bright distance gives the scene its depth.
The window composition makes it a fine piece for a room that lacks an outlook of its own, such as a home office or an inner hallway. In the Highland Stillness collection it is one of nine paintings of a single loch and its stone lodge, and it pairs with Birches at the Shore and The Wooden Jetty.
