About this lot

Description

English School, 19th Century, A wooded landscape with haymakers, oil on canvas, 95 x 129 cm. Provenance: Mawley Hall, Shropshire

Oil on canvas which has been lined. The canvas is in plane but the tension is slightly slack. The paint layer has been very worn and abraded in the past revealing a darker underlayer, evident in the sky. The paint layer has areas of raised cracks which appear vulnerable to flaking. There is extensive overpaint across the surface. The varnish is yellowed and semi-glossy. The gilding on the frame is slightly worn but in a good condition overall.
