In this vignette the heroine of Thomas Campbell’s poem, O’Connor’s Child, is shown lying beside the grave of her lover, Connocht Moran. He was of a lowlier family and was murdered by her family for his efforts to woo her. In revenge, she sends her brothers to their deaths in battle against the English and brings about the destruction of her clan. Turner shows the soldiers departing for battle, clad in plaid, climbing the hillside to the right, set against a backdrop of castle, church and moonlit loch. The strong contrasts between light and shadow would have adapted well to reproduction as a black and white engraving.
