Old Miniature Oil Painting On Canvas - North Devon Sunset
£42.00
I adore old miniature painting such as this, I have a collection on my picture rail in the sitting room. All paintings of artists special places to visit and spend time thinking and creating. This is a beautiful piece in colour and tone and detail. Painted in oil with a fine brush it captures the changing tones in leaves a dusky sunset sky and a still lake. In fact it is beyond beautiful when you take time to sit a while and truly study its detailing.
Painted on canvas.
The speckles you see are not in the painting but just how the side light from the window has enhanced the slight texture of the oil.
It is signed to the bottom right corner and an old label on the reverse which says that the artist was Robert De Halliburton and the painting is titled North Devon Sunset. Appears to be early 1900's.
The painting is in slightly travelled condition as expected for its age and has a one small area of paint loss to the left bottom side (approx 1cm in width) and wear to the edges from where it would have been originally framed.
Measures 21.5cm x 14cm x 0.8cm
