About the Item
This lovely Surrey landscape oil painting is by noted British exhibited artist George William Mote. Painted circa 1870, the composition is a landscape with a stunning view into the distance on the right. In the foreground, a group of sheep rest on the path, their shepherd and dog on the grass nearby. A figure ascends the path towards the scene. The vibrant greens and high sun beating down through wispy clouds really bring this summer scene to life. A fantastic painting and example of Mote's work.
