Two Covenanters 1830

"Two Covenanters" is an 1830 oil painting by Scottish artist George Harvey (1806-1876). The work depicts two men, likely father and son, dressed in the traditional garb of Scottish Covenanters. They sit together, their faces bearing an expression of quiet resolve. The painting is a study of both character and setting, with Harvey's attention to detail evident in the men's clothing, the landscape, and the inscription in the upper portion of the canvas. The artwork offers a glimpse into the history of the Scottish Covenanters, a religious and political movement that emerged in the 17th century.
