Lot 1010: Local Artist, Wooded River Landscape, Oil on Canvas, British School
An oil on canvas painting depicting a traditional landscape with a wooded foreground and a path at the centre leading towards a body of water and distant hills. The work is executed in an atmospheric style characteristic of late 19th or early 20th-century British landscape painting, utilizing loose brushwork to define the foliage and sky. The medium is applied thinly in sections, revealing the coarse texture of the canvas support. The painting is presented in a simple, narrow, cream-painted wooden batten frame. A handwritten note on a strip of tape along the top edge reads 810/ Local oil Painting, and a lot tag from Liskeard Auction Rooms (Lot 1010) is attached to the frame. No signature is visible on the face of the work.
Condition report:
The painting displays surface dirt and an aged, slightly yellowed varnish across the canvas, consistent with its age. The medium is thinly applied in areas. The frame shows minor surface wear and scuffs to the painted finish.
