About the Item

This is a fine large 19th century landscape oil painting depicting a single figure fishing from a weir ‘On the River Frome’ in the English county of Dorset by the Royal Academy artist Frederick William Whitehead (1853-1938). The painting is signed by the artist and is presented in a fine quality newly commissioned Baroque style gold metal leaf swept frame. As with all of the original antique oil paintings we sell it is offered in the very finest condition it can be for its age having been professionally cleaned and re-varnished. Frederick William Whitehead studied at the Académie Julian in Paris for 3 years before returning to England where he struck up a lifelong friendship with the author Thomas Hardy and subsequently painted many views of Dorset and the countryside that inspired Hardy’s 'Wessex' novels. Whitehead was a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and exhibited his first painting there in 1870 at the age of eighteen. Between 1881 and 1893 he exhibited 12 paintings at the Royal Academy and 17 at the Suffolk Street Gallery of the Royal Society of British Artists. Dimensions: (framed) 90cm x 64cm (35½” x 25½”) Dimensions: (canvas only) 76cm x 51cm (30” x 20”) Medium: Oil on canvas. Provenance: Private UK collection. Presentation: Fine gold metal leaf Baroque style swept frame. Condition: Excellent. Professionally cleaned and re-varnished. Ready to hang. We do not sell dirty, damaged or unframed works of art. Conservation: Where necessary the paintings we sell are cleaned and restored by Fine Art Restoration (est.1974) or Simon Gillespie Studio, as seen on BBC Television's 'Fake or Fortune' and 'Britain's Lost Masterpieces'. About AFP Academy Fine Paintings is an international fine art dealership based in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, England. We specialise in 19th century British and European oil paintings and early 20th century Post-Impressionist works by some of the most important artists of the period. My name is Gavin Claxton and in addition to being an art dealer I also work as an antiques and fine art expert on BBC television. In addition to ebay we also sell via our own website and on the world’s three leading antiques and fine art portals. Condition We are the only fine art dealer selling on UK ebay to professionally clean and where necessary expertly restore all of our paintings before offering them for sale. Clients should always bear in mind that the vast majority of paintings we deal in are antiques - works over 100 years old and frequently much older – and will therefore invariably retain some evidence of aging, historical damage and repair. During its lifetime a 150-year old oil painting may well have been exposed to extremes of heat or cold, intrusion of water, bumps, cuts and natural age-related deterioration, all of which require restoration. Whilst our conservator is one of the most eminent in the UK, no restorer can reverse time and every sign of ageing and natural deterioration, therefore anyone wishing to purchase a painting that looks like new should think about buying a new painting rather than an antique one. Listing Terminology & Qualifiers When a listing's heading reads 'by' and is followed by the artist's full name (or the artist's initials, if his full name is unrecorded), the work is in our opinion by the artist. When the term 'signed by' is used, in our opinion the work has been signed by the artist. When the expression "attributed to" is used, the work is in our opinion possibly a work by the artist, in whole or in part. When the expression 'circle of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence. When the expression 'follower of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but not necessarily by a pupil. When the expression 'manner of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but of a later date. When the term "after" is used, the work is in our opinion a copy or imitation (of any date) of a work by the artist. When the term 'bears signature' is used in our opinion the signature is by a hand other than that of the artist. Packaging Great care and much time is taken over the safe transportation of the paintings we sell. Safe shipping is predominantly about correct packaging; we only use the highest quality fine art packaging materials. No second-hand bubble-wrap and reused cardboards boxes here! Before leaving us, each painting takes us approximately 2 to 3 hours to properly (i.e. safely and securely) package for transport; whether for a journey or 30 miles or 3000. Every painting is first wrapped in acid free paper and then the entire frame is enveloped in deep, dense foam U cushioning. This is then covered in numerous layers of AirCap bubble wrap, which is the best and safest product of its type on the market. Sheets of high density fine art packaging card are then secured to the front and rear of the painting with waterproof cloth tape before the painting is then fitted in place inside a bespoke fine art shipping box. The entire package is then bound in black shrink wrap (as used by airline companies) and a final later of waterproof cloth tape is applied to all corners, ends and edges. Shipping We ship domestically and internationally with UPS and FedEx. We will ship to most locations worldwide; please send us an email for a quote. All buyers will need to supply a complete address and telephone contact number for shipping forms. UK clients are also most welcome to collect from us in South Buckinghamshire. Payment Terms We are very aware that not all of clients are in a position to pay the entire sale price upfront. All of the paintings offered as ebay ‘Buy It Now’ listings are available to buy across three monthly instalments. Any client wishing to utilise this payment method should drop me an email and once the total sale price and payment timetable has been agreed the painting will be removed from sale and reserved for the client. Payment instalments will incur no interest. Paintings will be dispatched to clients only once the total balance has been paid in full. …and finally It’s ironic that 99.9% of the world’s fine art is owned by the wealthiest 0.01% of the population when so many of the artists who created it lived and died in relative poverty. The fact is that the art world, especially in times of global recession, thrives on inequality. But whilst the possibility of purchasing works by Leighton, Holman Hunt, Constable, and Turner is always going to be the preserve of the super-rich it has never been a better time to invest in works by their contemporaries. Many thanks for visiting, and of course please do call or drop me an email any time. Best regards, Gavin Claxton

Fabbriche di Careggine - Mid 19th Century Oil Painting of Tuscany Hills Italy

By Edmund John Niemann

Located in Gerrards Cross, GB

‘Fabbriche di Careggine’ by Edmund John Niemann (1813-1876). Fabbriche di Careggine is the name of a Italian ghost village that today lies beneath Vagli di Sotto, a man-made lake in Tuscany. Prior to its flooding in 1953 the village was home to a community of subsistence farmers who raised sheep and Garfagnana goats. The painting depicts one of these goatherds and a young woman riding out from the village at sunrise. It is not uncommon for paintings by one member of famous family of artists to be mistakenly attributed to a relative; a picture by “the Elder” is erroneously credited as being by “the Younger” and the work of one brother is confused with another, and so on. In 19th century British art...
