Oliver Hall RA (1869-1957) - 1941 Oil Houghton Forest, Autumn Colours
Description
A wonderful autumnal example of the masterly study and depiction of trees by the artist Oliver Hall RA RE RWS (1869-1957). An impressive study of the effects of sunshine and shadow in the forest. The painting is well-presented in a substantial ornate frame with sanded flat, acanthus strapwork and pronounced centre and corner ornamentation. Inscribed on the reverse 'Houghton Forest, Autumn Colours, Oliver Hall RA '41'. There is also a label from picture framers 'Alfred Styles & Sons Ltd.' as shown. Hall has work in the collection at the Royal Academy in London. Signed, inscribed and dated on the reverse. On canvas on stretchers.Condition
The painting is In fine condition. Inspection under UV light reveals one small area of restoration. Restoration to the frame including some moulding has taken place, as shown, and the frame has regular but stable cracking. There is one small area of loss on the upper edge of the frame, but this is not recent and does not detract from its overall aesthetic quality.
