About the artwork

In a grim Victorian hospital, where the walls bear witness to years of medical deprivation, a remarkable figure takes centre stage: a Scottish highlander, dressed in the traditional doctor's attire of the era. His imposing stature is enveloped by a doctor's coat, and a doctor's hat rests proudly on his head. His impressive horns stand out against the sombre background of antique medical instruments and dark wooden panels.

His long, shaggy hair falls wildly across his face, hiding his eyes behind a veil of darkness. This head of hair, untamed and wild, adds to his ominous appearance, as if he is a mysterious figure from a forgotten era, with secrets hidden deep behind the curtains of his lush mane.

As dusk seeps through the soiled windows, tiny flies form a mischievous crown on his broad nose, a comical detail amid the serious surroundings. Yet the Scottish Highlander exudes an aura of determination and competence, despite the obstruction of his vision by his wild locks of hair. His piercing gaze, hidden behind the shadow of his locks, testifies to a profound knowledge of medicine and an unwavering dedication to helping the sick and injured brought to the hospital.

This unique image combines historical and surreal elements, making it both intriguing and enchanting. Perfect for lovers of Victorian art, surrealism and medical history, this image is an ideal addition to art collections, galleries or as a striking decorative piece in a domestic setting. The combination of mystery, humour and medical expertise makes this artwork a valuable asset.
