Hugh Cameron, R.S.A., R.S.W. (1835-1918) - During the 1870s Cameron produced a number of paintings depicting Scottish country people engaged in hard farm tasks, or collecting and dragging firewood. Several of these compositions suggest the influence of Jean François Millet's scenes of peasant life. First exhibited in 1871 at the Royal Academy.
