Painted while staying at Dunrobin Castle, the estate of the Duke of Sutherland, Churchill chose to set his easel behind a tree where he likely thought of it as a framing device, adding a layer of depth, creating a stronger sense of foreground, middle ground, and background, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the picture. Churchill painted at both Dunrobin as well as the Duke’s Sutton Place estate, later the home of John Paul Getty.<br><br>As Mary Soames describes it in her book, Winston Churchill, His Life as a Painter, “1921 had been a year of heavy personal tidings” for Churchill and his family, as he lost both his mother, Jennie Cornwallis-West, and his beloved child, Marigold, aged nearly four. In a letter to his wife Clementine, Churchill wrote, “… Many tender thoughts, my darling one of you and yr sweet kittens. Alas I keep on feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly [Marigold’s pet name].” That Churchill chose to stay with the Duke and Duchess at Dunrobin just after Marigold’s death speaks to their close friendship and his fondness for the area, including Loch Choire.

Während seines Aufenthalts auf Dunrobin Castle, dem Landsitz des Herzogs von Sutherland, stellte Churchill seine Staffelei hinter einen Baum, den er wahrscheinlich als Rahmen für das Bild betrachtete, um ihm mehr Tiefe zu verleihen und den Eindruck von Vorder-, Mittel- und Hintergrund zu verstärken, was die Dreidimensionalität des Bildes erhöht. Churchill malte sowohl in Dunrobin als auch auf dem Anwesen des Herzogs in Sutton Place, dem späteren Wohnsitz von John Paul Getty.

Wie Mary Soames in ihrem Buch Winston Churchill, His Life as a Painter (Winston Churchill, sein Leben als Maler) beschreibt, war 1921 für Churchill und seine Familie ein Jahr schwerer persönlicher Schicksalsschläge", da er sowohl seine Mutter Jennie Cornwallis-West als auch sein geliebtes Kind Marigold im Alter von fast vier Jahren verlor. In einem Brief an seine Frau Clementine schrieb Churchill: "... Viele zärtliche Gedanken, meine Liebste, an dich und deine süßen Kätzchen. Leider fühle ich immer noch den Schmerz der Duckadilly [Marigolds Kosename]." Die Tatsache, dass Churchill sich entschloss, kurz nach Marigolds Tod bei dem Herzog und der Herzogin in Dunrobin zu wohnen, spricht für ihre enge Freundschaft und seine Vorliebe für die Gegend, einschließlich Loch Choire. Es ist keine Überraschung, dass Churchill das Gemälde dem Herzog von Sutherland schenkte.
