Early 20th Century Oil - By the Window

Description

A charming early 20th-century genre scene depicting a mother and child beside a sunlit window. The child plays contentedly as the mother looks on with quiet adoration. The work is rendered with remarkable sensitivity and a masterful command of light in the Dutch tradition. Unsigned. Beautifully presented in an ornate gilt frame. On canvas on stretchers.

Condition

Signs of wear consistent with age. Minor surface marks and abrasions. Light surface discolouration throughout, including yellowing to the varnish layer. Inspection under UV light reveals areas of previous restoration. Stable cracking to the frame. The frame has minor surface wear and scuffs. Overall, the artwork is in very good condition for its age.
