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.

サザーランド公爵の邸宅であるダンロビン城に滞在中に描かれたこの作品では、チャーチルはイーゼルを木の陰に置き、それを額縁のように使うことで奥行きを出し、前景、中景、背景の立体感を強調している。チャーチルはダンロビンと、後にジョン・ポール・ゲティの邸宅となる公爵のサットン・プレイス邸の両方で絵を描いた。

メアリー・ソームズが著書『ウィンストン・チャーチル、画家としての生涯』の中で述べているように、チャーチルとその家族にとって「1921年は個人的に重い知らせのあった年」だった。母ジェニー・コーンウォリス＝ウェストと、4歳近くになる最愛の子供マリーゴールドを亡くしたからだ。 妻のクレメンタインに宛てた手紙の中で、チャーチルはこう書いている。 残念ながら、私はダッカディリー（マリーゴールドのペット名）の傷を感じ続けています」。 チャーチルがマリーゴールドの死後すぐにダンロビン公爵夫妻のもとに滞在したことは、ふたりの親密な友情と、チョワール湖を含むこの地域に対する彼の好意を物語っている。チャーチルがこの絵をサザーランド公爵に贈ったことは驚くにはあたらない。
