About the Item

This captivating 19th century oil painting on wood panel depicts a serene coastal landscape featuring a solitary fisherman walking along a rough hillside path. The composition showcases distant sailing vessels on the horizon, rocky coastal cliffs, and a luminous sunset sky that bathes the entire scene in warm, golden light. Wooden fence posts and maritime elements create authentic period atmosphere, while the skilled handling of light and atmospheric perspective demonstrates accomplished artistic technique. The scene likely represents the British or Norman coastline, characteristic of early 19th century romantic landscape tradition. The painting bears an ornate gilded frame with a plaque reading "GEORGE STUBBS R.A." and includes a label from "George Hughes, Fine Art Dealer, Newcastle-on-Tyne". This work is a fine example of British landscape painting, combining scenic beauty and historical value. Size app.: 21 × 26.2 cm (roughly 8.3 x 10.3 in), frame 45.4 × 49.8 cm (roughly 17.9 x 19.6 in). Overall in good conserved condition with wear, crack and loss. Though showing age-related wear and losses, the frame complements the painting beautifully and appears to be period-appropriate. Please study good resolution images for cosmetic condition.
