Already a royal favourite, the Swedish artist Lundgren was invited to Scotland in 1859. He painted watercolours depicting the events of the Highland fête hosted that autumn at Balmoral; the royal family had previously attended and enjoyed the games at nearby Braemar. Queen Victoria described the appearance of the festivities as ‘striking in the extreme’.
