Description

A late 19th century pastoral landscape depicting Bickleigh Vale near Plymouth, with rolling hills and grazing livestock above a gentle stream. The composition draws the eye through the valley towards distant mountains beneath a luminous sky of soft blue and white clouds. Signed and dated lower left, the painting is beautifully presented in a gilt-effect frame finished with delicate running patterns. On canvas.

Condition

Signs of wear consistent with age. A small patch repair can be seen to the reverse of the canvas. Inspection under UV light reveals minor restoration and overpainting. Signs of wear to the gilt frame including stable cracking to the running pattern and small moulding repairs. The overall condition of the artwork is very good.
