'' Beneath the Snow Encumbered Branches'' is a 1901 oil on canvas work by Scottish painter Joseph Farquharson. Its whereabouts were unknown between it going on public display in 1901 and the 1960s, when it was bought by a private collector. It reappeared on public display again in 2008, when it was sold at auction, selling for over twice its initial estimate and remaining in private hands in Scotland. It has become well known, as its likeness is used on a popular Hallmark Christmas card. ==Background== Painter and Laird Joseph Farquharson owned a estate at Finzean, Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, where he enjoyed painting wintery scenes, particularly of sheep. This in turn had led to his nickname of "Frozen Mutton Farquharson".〔 He had a painting hut built on wheels, which contained a stove to keep him from getting too cold whilst he was out painting.〔 Speaking in 2008 before the painting went on sale at auction, Nick Carnow, director at auctioneers Lyon and Turnbull of Edinburgh, said, "Farquharson had a long career but paintings by him of this quality are rare."〔
