By Henry Guest (fl.1840-1853) - Framed 19th Century Oil
Two young figures guide a herd of cattle, a goat & sheep along a rural track in this charming countryside scene. The artist employs a unique layering technique that provides the piece with a lively, textural quality. Well presented in a gilt-effect frame. Unsigned. On panel.
The condition is typical for a picture of this age, including some craquelure to the surface of the painting and scuffs. Notice a small crack in the surface of the painting, that does not detract in my opinion.
