Interior of a Highlander’s House

Clausen’s large painting, Labourers after Dinner (1884; private collection), was the first sign that he was turning away from the sentimental peasant pictures popularised in England and France by Jules Bastien-Lepage, towards more naturalistic and brutal genre subjects. This is a study of the head of the boy at the centre of Labourers after Dinner.

The Otter Speared

To the present-day viewer, this subject seems a strangely cruel one to choose. However, the flushed and grimacing huntsman was probably intended to be seen as part of the savagery of nature. The otter itself is shown as savage but courageous, continuing to strike back though mortally wounded. Its prey of two salmon lie dead on the bank.

Otter hunting continued into the late 19th century.
The artist Edwin Landseer was famous for his ability to paint animals and the silky sheen of their coats.
