Near Osmington Village, Dorset oil on board 26 x 35.5 cm 10 1/4 x 14 in signed Stephen Bone was a 20th century landscape, mural and portrait painter. He was born in London, the son of the artist and etcher Sir Muirhead Bone. The family lived in Italy between 1910 and 1912, before Stephen returned to attend Bedales School.
