Title: In the Orchard Artist: Sir James Guthrie (Scottish, 1859-1930) Date: 1886 Genre: genre art Movement: Glasgow Boys Medium: oil on canvas Location: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

Sir James Guthrie was a leader among the group of artists known as the "Glasgow Boys," who sought to revivify Scottish art by drawing on external influences, notably the Tonalism of James Abbott McNeill Whistler and the Realism of Jules Bastien-Lepage. Their work, often painted en plein air, used broad swathes of color and flattened perspectives characteristic of Japanese art, in which the group was keenly interested.

With this large painting, Guthrie entered a new phase of his career, marked by a focus on nature and its symbolic associations. The apples which a young boy and girl are gathering represent fertility and renewal in Celtic mythology. The geese represent geese.
