19th century Dutch oil painting of a musical scene
Dutch, Late 19th Century
Board: Height 28.5cm, width 24cm
Frame: Height 46.5cm, width 42cm, depth 7cm
This beautifully composed 19th-century oil painting offers an evocative glimpse into everyday domestic life, centring on a tender moment between a mother and her child. Set at the open window of a period townhouse, the woman gently cradles her toddler, who wears a traditional white cap and a 19th century toddler gown, clutching a small metal rattle. Dressed in refined mid-19th century fashion, the mother wears a vivid orange dress beneath a vibrant pelerine and a pink-ribboned lace cap—indicating her middle-class status and contemporary taste.
Adding a charming narrative layer, she reaches down to touch the cap of a young street musician serenading the household with his fiddle, bridging the divide between public and private worlds. The right side of the composition opens onto a sunlit, tree-lined street flanked by Dutch-style buildings, creating a striking contrast between the intimate interior and the vibrant life beyond.
Signed indistinctly in the lower left and housed in an intricately carved giltwood frame, this artwork is both decorative and historically insightful. Its rich palette, fine detailing, and poignant subject matter make it an ideal acquisition for collectors of Victorian-era or 19th-century European art.

Antique Orientalist Oil on Board 'Desert Bedouin', by José Benito Ortega

Antique Orientalist Oil on Board 'Desert Bedouin', by Spanish Artist Ortega
Spanish, early 20th Century
Frame: Height 51cm, width 59cm, depth 2cm
Board: Height 44cm, width 53cm, depth 0.5cm
Fluidly painted, this vibrant oil on board depicts a dusty Orientalist scene. Four Bedouin ride camels alongside a flurry of goats, carrying lambs and hens in saddlebags. Other figures clothed in Middle Eastern garments walk with them, and the busy scene fades into a dusty, evening landscape. The colour palette is vibrant and hued with dusky pinks and oranges, giving the impression that these Bedouin are returning back to camp. The cropped composition also gives a dynamic feel to the picture: a glance into early 20th Century desert life.
The present painting was created by Spanish artist José Benito Ortega...

Group portrait painting after the hunt, oil on canvas
Located in London, GB
This charming painting depicts a group of gentlemen gathered around a kitchen table and admiring an English Setter. The snowy rooftops, just visible from the kitchen window, combined with the lit fire and holly decorating the picture frames in the room, implies that this is a Christmas scene. It also appears that the gentlemen have just returned from a fox hunt, and are now warming themselves, drinking port and smoking long pipes by the fire.
Five men — three gathered behind the table and two standing in front — are identically dressed in long black riding boots...
