The Wounded Cateran by R. Carrick, Exhibition of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours, from "Illustrated London News"
Cateran were fighting men from Highland clans and often brigands. Carrick's watercolor, reproduced here in a wood engraving by Williams, was exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, London in 1848 (no. 85). In a rocky Scottish landscape, three men dressed in tartan are shown after a conflict, with one tending to the wounded arm of another.
