Oil on board. Gilt gesso frame.
Depicts a couple assisting an elderly gentleman - thought to be a depiction of the Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green (or The Blind Beggar’s Daughter of Bethnal Green), a very old English ballad.

Size of portrait: 14 x 10 inches;
Size of front portrait aperture: 13 x 9.25 inches.
Weight: 2.9 kg (allow 6 kg volumetric weight once packed).

This antique painting has some woodworm holes but these have been treated to eradicate.
Priced accordingly.
A little note about shipping:
This beautiful piece is very old and its elaborate carved wooden frame is naturally rather delicate. We will pack it with the utmost care to help it reach you safely.
