A delightfully romantic early 19th Century parkland landscape in oil, depicting two figures across a lake. The artist uses the surrounding verdant landscape as a device to reveal and direct the eye towards the figures, crafting speculation on their mood. The attention to light and shadow further enhances interest, as well as small textured details. The figures, a lady and a gentleman carrying a stick, appear turned towards each other, in distant conversation. The setting is perhaps a landscaped garden, with natural forms and winding paths typical of the type developed in the 18th Century.
Well-presented in a wide gilt wooden frame with leaf-and-berry running pattern, acanthus and lamb's tongue mouldings, as shown.
Unsigned. On canvas on stretchers.In very good condition, especially for a picture of this age. Some light surface discolouration, and light abrasion to the left side.
