There are also usually rural workers such as shepherds or farm labourers going about their work. Many of the snow pictures and landscape paintings were based on the surrounding countryside and woods of Farquharson's home at Finzean. 'The shortening winter's day' shows a flock of sheep and their shepherd in a snow covered field and the woods beyond. The scene is lit by the sun setting below the trees, casting light and long shadows across the field. The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy in 1903. It was praised in the catalogue: In a lovely wooden frame. Bought for £100.
