$3,200.00
A fine oil on canvas genre scene depicting a group of women and a child, two astride beautifully painted horses, crossing a shallow body of water, returning from market. They are departing for home from a town, which can be glimpsed through an allée of trees at the distant left. Second half of the 19th century. Unsigned. This is a very fine copy of Augustus Wall Callcott’s original painting (now in the Tate Museum, London), painted ca. 1834, which draws on scenery from his travels in the Netherlands. Good condition, in a later gilt wood frame.
