DESCRIPTION- THIS IS A MOST INTERESTING ANTIQUE OIL PAINTING DEPICTING TWO GENTS HUNTING RABBITS WITH LURCHER DOGS. ITS A VERY OLD PIECE DATING BACK TO THE VERY EARLY 19TH CENTURY AND REMINDS US VERY MUCH OF THE WORK OF THE FAMOUS BRITISH ARTIST GEORGE MORLAND 1763-1804. SADLY THOUGH WE CAN NOT MAKE OUT A SIGNATURE ON THIS PAINTING. THE CONDITION IS REASONABLY OK FOR ITS AGE THOUGH THERE IS PAINT CRAQUELEUR AND DIRTY VARNISH IN PLACES. THIS ONE HAS MOST PROBABLY BEEN CLEANED AT SOME POINT AND THERE IS THE ODD FLECK OF MISSING PAINT. THERE APPEARS TO BE A COUPLE OF OLD AREAS OF RESTORATION- THESE HAVE BEEN DONE WELL. THE CANVAS IS HOUSED IN AN ATTRACTIVE PERIOD HEAVY GOLD FRAME. THERE IS AN OLD PENCIL INSCRIPTION ON THE REVERSE OF THE PAINTING THOUGH THIS IS TOO FADED TO READ.

SIZE- MEASURES JUST OVER 24.25 BY 21 INCHES INCLUDING FRAME, CANVAS 19 BY 15.5 INCHES
