Figures fording a stream before the ruins of an ancient fortress
oil on canvas
32.5 x 41cm



Provenance:
According to the inscription on the reverse of the relined canvas - Given by the Reverend John Bennett in 1854 to John M Hook



Framed 43 x 51cm

The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has been lined. The painting has a network of age cracks which now appear dark. There are a few localised areas of lifting cracks but the paint layer is stable overall. Areas of retouching are reasonably well matched to the original. The varnish is very matte.
