Lot 901: J. J. Simmonds (20th Century), Oil on Board, Study of an English Church, 1988
A late 20th-century oil painting on board by J. J. Simmonds, depicting a traditional English stone church. The work is rendered in a detailed naive style, featuring flint-like masonry, red-tiled roofs, and a prominent tower with a weathervane. The church is set within a landscape of dense green foliage and trees, with a stone boundary wall and a decorative wrought iron gate positioned in the foreground. The painting is signed vertically along the right-hand edge J. J. Simmonds and inscribed with the date Sept. 1988 to the lower right corner. The work is housed in a substantial modern dark-toned frame with a silvered inner fillet.
