Antique landscape oil painting study of figures in woods signed W Greaves 1879 (2 of 2).
English, dated 1879.
Signed by the artist, William Greaves (British, Leeds artist, exhibited at RA circa 1880).
Oil on board. Gilt gesso frame.
Depicts figures in autumnal woods.
Size of frame: 17 x 13.75 inches;
Size of painting: 10.25 x 7.25 inches;
Size of front painting aperture: 9.25 x 6.25 inches.
Weight: 2.1 kg (allow 6 kg volumetric weight once packed).
Reasonable condition for its age - some craquelure and some cracks to gesso frame but all part of its charm and character.
Priced accordingly.
A little note about shipping:
This beautiful piece is very old, and its gesso plaster frame is naturally rather delicate. We will pack it with the utmost care to help it reach you safely. That said, it’s possible that fragments of plaster may loosen in transit — this is quite normal for antique frames of this kind. By purchasing, you’re accepting this small risk when shipping by courier. Unfortunately, I’m not able to offer refunds or returns for losses of gesso that may occur in delivery.
Auction record for this artist is £4,000 (USD approx $5,263).
