About the Item

A charming 19th-century genre scene in the style of Edward Matthew Ward, RA (1816–1879), depicting a moment of festive folly set in the Caroline era. A gentleman, with playful intent, leans forward to offer a sprig of mistletoe to a lady, who regards him with a look of disapproval. The composition is rich in detail and is characteristic of Ward's flair for narrative. Unsigned. Beautifully presented in an ornate gilt frame with an oval slip. On canvas on stretchers.

Circle of Thomas Faed - Mid 19th Century Oil, An Admirer
Located in Corsham, GB
This romantic scene depicts a young couple resting beneath a tree. The boy looks longingly at the girl who stares into the distance in a dream-like trance. The maiden rests her basket of foliage on her skirt as she gently plucks a plant from the ground. This painting is of the style of Thomas Faed and his artistic circle in the mid 19th century.

Unsigned. The panel supplier's stamp to the reverse has helped us to date this painting as mid 19th century. This particular stamp was used by Brown's in the 1850's, which was stamped onto all of their art supplies...
