Nomads by the Coast – Tranquil Landscape Scene

Up for sale is an original 19th‑century oil painting on canvas by William Dalglish (United Kingdom, 1860–1909). This beautifully rendered work captures a peaceful coastal landscape where a small group of nomads rest near their tents. Wisps of smoke drift from the encampment, suggesting the quiet rhythms of daily life, while scattered figures engage in conversation and simple tasks.

Dalglish’s masterful use of light and detail enhances the naturalism of the scene, reflecting his gift for depicting serene landscapes and human presence in nature. The painting evokes a timeless sense of calm and human adaptability against nature’s vastness, enhanced by its rich, dark wooden frame that complements its rustic character.
