A beautiful antique oil painting on canvas, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The work is painted on an original Reeves & Sons, London artist’s canvas, a well-known British maker active during this period.
The scene depicts a peaceful pastoral landscape, featuring a sweeping tree in the foreground, gentle countryside tones, and what appears to be a church tower in the distance. The style is characteristic of traditional British and European rural landscapes from around 1880–1930, with expressive brushwork, warm natural colours and a softly impressionistic feel.
The painting is housed in a substantial gilt wooden frame, likely of similar age. Together, the frame and artwork make a striking decorative piece with genuine antique charm.
Condition:
The painting shows natural age-related craquelure and wear appropriate for an antique oil of this period. The frame also has some expected marks and minor losses, but overall both are presentable and full of character. No visible signature, though the frame may cover part of the lower edge.
