- A river landscape with elegant company in a boat, others picnicking on the bank and bathing, a mountainside town beyond
- oil on canvas
Provenance
Lilleshall, 38 Bea Brunner (according to an old label on the reverse).
Condition
The canvas has a recent lining which is stable. The paint surface is in satisfactory condition, although affected by localised areas of wear. The sky has undergone some strengthening and there are some fairly recent retouchings in the landscape which are obvious to the naked eye. The varnish layer is deceased and no longer wholly translucent; this should be removed and replaced. Sold with a carved and gilt wood frame, in good condition.
