"A Ghillie, Smoking His Pipe Beside A Day's Bag" is a painting by George W. Horlor, a British artist known for his depictions of game birds and hunting scenes. The artwork captures a moment of repose in the Scottish Highlands, featuring a ghillie—a Scottish term for a hunting or fishing guide—enjoying a quiet smoke beside the results of a successful hunt. The painting is characteristic of Horlor's attention to detail and his ability to convey the serene atmosphere of rural sporting life in the 19th century.

The composition likely dates from the latter half of the 19th century, a period when sporting art was popular among the British aristocracy and middle class. Horlor's work often reflects the Victorian era's fascination with nature, outdoor leisure activities, and the romanticized view of the Scottish landscape and its traditions. In this painting, the ghillie is depicted in traditional attire, set against the backdrop of the rugged terrain, with the day's bag of game birds prominently displayed.

While the exact date of creation, current location, and provenance of "A Ghillie, Smoking His Pipe Beside A Day's Bag" may not be well-documented, the painting is an example of Horlor's genre scenes that contribute to the visual culture of the period. George W. Horlor (1849–1896) was active during a time when such scenes were sought after for their embodiment of the sportsman's lifestyle, and his works are appreciated for their historical value as well as their artistic merit.

As with many works of art from this era, the painting may be of interest to collectors of Victorian art, historians studying the social aspects of hunting and gamekeeping, and those who appreciate the depiction of traditional Scottish customs. If the painting is held in a private collection or a public institution, it would likely be of interest to scholars and the general public for its representation of 19th-century British sporting life.
