A painting by a popular Scottish painter of the early 20th century has been re-united with waters that inspired it.
The work by Joseph Farquharson, entitled Glowed with Tints of Evening's Hour' was inspired by the water of Feugh on Deeside.
The painting, created by the Scottish artist who lived from 1846 to 1935, is shortly up for auction.
It is being sold by Lyon & Turnbull on June 4 at their sale of Scottish paintings in Edinburgh, and is valued between £80,000 and £120,000.
The painting has been taken back to the artist's family estate of Finzean on Deeside to be reunited with the exact spot it was painted.
Izzy Farquharson, 17, great grand niece of the artist, took the painting to the Forest of Birse, looking down the Feugh towards the old Finzean Bucket Mill and house.
She said: "I have always loved his paintings and I know most of the spots in the area where he painted them.
"It is amazing to have the actual painting here in the exact place that he painted it.
"It has changed quite a lot, but you can still see the road, sawmill and cottage in the distance."
Farquharson combined a career as a painter with his inherited role as laird of Finzean.
His father, the 10th laird, was a doctor with an Edinburgh practice, and a competent amateur artist who encouraged his son.
Much of his childhood was spent at Finzean and he trained at the Royal Scottish Academy Life School and Trustees' Academy, Edinburgh.
Farquharson was famed for his Scottish snow scenes, and excepting 1914, sent a new one to the Royal Academy every year between 1894 and 1925.
Nick Curnow, vice chair and Paintings Specialist at Lyon & Turnbull said: "This painting is a beautiful example of the artists work.
"Farquharson's work was always characterised by richly handled paint".
