A fine and rich naturalistic landscape view entitled 'Scene in Cumberland', attributed to the circle of John Westall (fl.1873-1893). The artist has a fine command of the medium, portraying late evening light on this picturesque setting. A small family have stopped beneath a large tree to rest, dressed typically for the period. The earthy palette creates a dramatic contrast to the dying light of the sky, in this romantic glorification of the English rural way of life. Unsigned and inscribed. On canvas on stretchers.
Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and wear to the canvas. There is a large repaired tear to the canvas that has been fully restored. Scuffing and wear to the edges, with some stretcher creasing.
