"Rosa Bonheur was very happy to reach the country of Ossian, and when, on the morrow following our arrival, we took the Inveraray road toward Loch Eck, she was able to make her first sketch of a herd of Scottish oxen. Toward evening, a fresh encounter of cattle furnished the subject of a second sketch, which was the beginning of a picture subsequently painted and sold under the title of "Denizens of the Highlands." The engraver for this was Thomas Landseer, brother of Sir Edwin." - Ernest Gambart.
