This is a delightful and captivating antique Victorian Primitive farmyard landscape winter scene oil painting on canvas. This picturesque snowy scene draws your eye to an enchanting homestead. The artist has included many endearing details that depict a cozy family farm in winter. Everything is blanketed along with the lush landscape in snow. There are cattle near the forefront and a woman and child walking towards the bridge. There are several interesting buildings and an island with a house in the distance. This is a wonderful Victorian winter scene from 1871. Wonderful colors and depth. Very fine details throughout. The painting is initialed by the artist, "JGH" and dated "1871". The initials are printed, not script. The initials can be found on the front of the canvas, at the bottom center, near the base of the tree. I have been told that the artist’s name is "Jeslhke Greve Hauff" and he is a listed artist. However, I have not been able to find any information on this artist to confirm this. There is very slight paint loss in the bottom center of canvas, otherwise the oil painting is in excellent original condition. Original wood and fancy gesso frame. This beautiful antique frame has a few chips here and there and retains the original gold gilt finish. Original wire hanger. Circa 1871.
***I would be happy to provide additional photos if requested. |
