A masterly view of Coniston Water in the Lake District through the trees by Oliver Hall RA RE RWS (1869-1957). Figures can be seen stood amongst the tree trunks while a boat sails along the water in the background. Hall has work in the collection at the Royal Academy in London, including a strikingly similar composition to this, entitled 'Spring' (c.1927). Signed to the lower-right edge. There is a label on the verso inscribed with the title and 'For RA, by Oliver Hall RA'. On canvas on stretchers.Condition
There are three areas of professional restoration to the canvas, at the centre of the upper edge, in the upper-right quadrant, and centre of the right edge. Inspection under UV light shows some sympathetic in-painting in these areas. There is some mild surface dirt, a pinhole to the lower-left corner, and some slight scuffs around the edges. Overall in good condition.
