Description

Houghton Mill with figures in a rowing boat in the foreground signed lower left "W W Milne" oil on canvas 42 x 52cm

Footnote: Bridget Flanagan writes that the only mill at Houghton was the old Eagle Mill at Houghton Hill, pulled down before Milne's arrival there. The present painting is likely to be the old mill, now gone, on the Low Road to Fenstanton, near St Ives Staunch. We are grateful to Bridget Flanagan for her assistance with the catalogue entry.

Condition report: Oil on canvas which has been lined. There are a few old scattered losses across the surface. The painting has extensive areas of brushy retouching across the canvas. The varnish is matte but clear and even. The frame is in a good condition.
