Mount-Aux-Sources, Natal National Park, Drakensberg
Literature : Nigel Hughes, Views in Colonial Natal, Craighall, 2005, page 48 and 49, illustrated in colour.
Methven never tired of painting Mont-aux-Sources in all its moods and this is one of several. The mountain is shown during a summer storm with menacing low clouds rolling down into the valley below. In the foreground is the Tugela (Thukela) River in full spate, a churning mass of white water. Methven's sometimes cold Scottish palette is well suited to dramatic Drakensberg storms.
