About the Item

19th Century Oil Painting. An English thatched mill with the mill race and ducks. Signed and Dated T Whittle 1881, Thomas Whittle 1865-1892 is a well-listed and popular artist of the 19th century, who painted Scottish and English landscapes with great success. Bring the timeless charm of the English countryside into your home with this serene 19th-century oil painting by British artist T. Whittle, signed and dated 1881. The artwork beautifully captures a rustic thatched mill nestled beside a flowing stream, with a gentle cascade of water spinning the mill wheel and a peaceful group of ducks and ducklings gathering in the foreground. Painted in warm, earthy tones, this pastoral landscape evokes the romanticism and tranquility of Victorian-era rural life. Rich in natural detail and softly illuminated with golden light, the composition draws the eye from the weathered thatch of the mill to the woodland path beyond. The artist's delicate brushwork and eye for atmosphere make this a captivating scene full of nostalgic charm! The painting is housed in its original wood frame with a gilt inner trim and ebonized outer edge, complementing the artwork's warmth and age. A wonderful addition to any traditional, cottagecore, or vintage-inspired interior!

A superbly detailed mid-18th-century Indian miniature court painting, executed in gouache heightened with gold on handmade paper.
