Description

A fine English School oil painting depicting figures in a river landscape. Presented in a modern metallic effect frame. Signed in the lower right 'William Westall' and judging by the age of the painting and canvas, this is likely a newer picture painted in the manner of listed English artist William Westall (1781-1850). The style is typical of Westall's expansive, atmospheric landscapes which seem to dwarf the figures contained within.

Condition

Inspection under UV light reveals some touching up to the sky area. There is a craquelure typical for a picture of this age and a small loss below the house in the distance at the right edge of the canvas.

Size

19.5 x 40cm (7.7" x 15.7")
Framed Size: 30.5 x 51cm (12" x 20.1")
