Announcement in Village Square, Victorian Oil Painting, 19th Century

19th century

About the Item

Fine 19th century oil painting of a bustling Austrian/Germanic village with horse, rider and various figures outside an Inn, attributed to Arthur Georg Ramberg (1819-1879), well known for figurative genre paintings. The rider is carrying a bugle, apparently announcing news to the people; men are sitting by the table drinking, one with a raised stein. Women walking by stop to listen, a man carrying a sack has stopped to watch the rider, people are in the Inn doorway, and one is looking out the window. Children pause their playing. The scene is under a large tree beside the Inn; a whole community waiting for news. There is a great deal of detail in the scene, tree and Inn house. Very good overall condition. The canvas sight is 14” wide by 12” high, and 22” wide and 20” high with the frame. Canvas fits well in the old wooden frame. Possible monogram A in lower center, last photo. Ready to hang!
