The Old Tolbooth, Kirkcudbright
Charles Oppenheimer 1875 - 1961
Summary
Ariel view along quiet sunlit street in Kirkcudbright, looking down from the tower of the Court House into the main square below. Row of whitewashed houses to the left, with a church tower and old toll booth in the centre of the composition. There is a small memorial in the middle of the square, with a single horse and cart moving along the road. Open fields and trees are visible in the background beyond. Figures walk along the street below. The paintwork is textured and the colours used are vibrant which indicate bright sunlight.
