About the Item

Surreal Dreamlike Village Scene with Figures, Dog & Moonlit Sky by British Artist, John Charlesworth (British, b. 1947) Art measures 7 x 5 in (17.8 x 12.7 cm) Fram measures 10 x 8 in (25.4 x 20.3 cm) Unique Original, Signed, Oil on board (2013) This exquisite miniature painting by British artist John Charlesworth captures a dreamlike narrative infused with mystery and charm. Completed in 2013, the work reveals the artist’s signature ability to blend the real with the fantastical, inviting viewers into a quiet yet imaginative world. A twilight village scene forms the backdrop, glowing in warm peach and rose tones beneath a soft rising moon. In the foreground, a man sits contemplatively near a reclining white dog, while a woman in a flowing pink dress gazes from a distance among ancient trees. The composition carries a subtle symbolism, enriched by the presence of a tree marked with a natural face-like motif, enhancing the painting’s folkloric and surreal qualities. Charlesworth’s handling of light and color imbues the work with a romantic, almost theatrical atmosphere. The balance between human presence, animal companionship, and mystical landscape elements creates a tableau that feels timeless and deeply poetic. Set in a handsome dark wood frame with gold inner trim, this miniature demonstrates both fine detail and narrative depth, making it an intimate yet powerful piece for collectors of British contemporary and modern art.
