Taking Shelter from a ThunderstormEnglish School / Early 19th century / Oil on Canvas
MEASUREMENTS.Picture: 14" × 11.75" (35.5cm × 30cm)Frame: 18.75" × 16.25" (47.5cm × 41cm)
DESCRIPTION.
This is an unusual early nineteenth century English School oil on canvas with a marvellous charm. The scene depicts a lady..., a young mother or possibly an elder sister, giving comfort to a younger figure, as a young shepherd leans towards them. The lady is robed in a bright scarlet cape, which creates a striking contrast from the dark colours surrounding her. In the distance, we see lightning falling from a darkened sky, while below, sheep have gathered by close to their shepherd.
The work displays highly skilled brushwork, together with a discerning understanding of colour and composition; although painted with an overall dark colour scheme, the artist has created a beautiful glow that spreads from the center of the canvas. The work is housed in a good quality antique gilt frame from the same period.
The work is in a good antique condition. The canvas has been lined and shows an excellent level of saturation. There are vertical marks running through near the center of the canvas, causing a light 'fogginess' in the affected areas; there is also a small area of vertical paint loss below the lady's scarf. Minor scuffs exists near the borders. Light craquelure runs through most areas. The frame is in a very good antique condition with some surface wear and minor losses to edges.
Ultra high resolution pictures available upon request.
