Description
A good quality and very decorative still life oil on canvas dating from the mid 19th Century. It is a traditional scene of hanging game birds, alongside a rabbit, a lobster and a skate awaiting preparation. It is framed in its original walnut frame.
There is a hand written signature on the reverse of the canvas - "hand painted by Ralph Mayers". There is an impressed owners mark on the wooden stretcher of the painting : "E.Spiller. 98 Holborn Hill. London"
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
