Some of Ibbetson’s most romantic landscapes feature the beautiful scenery of the River North Esk in Midlothian. He first encountered this area when he worked for the family of the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres in 1800 as drawing master. At the time this view of Hawthornden Castle was painted in 1814, Ibbetson was living in in Masham, North Yorkshire. As he no longer travelled, compositions such as this were based on careful location sketches he had made years earlier. We are grateful to James Mitchell for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
