About the Item
19th century oil painting of yorkshire flither pickers by robert farren circa 1890.
Painted by robert b. Farren (1832-1912)
This is a a skilfully executed and coloured oil painting by robert farren in the social realist style, created towards the end of the victorian period.
The composition is particularly strong, in homage to the three young women who are picking rock limpets as fresh fishing bait for their long-line commercial fishermen husbands. These women lived a particularly tough existence and travelled far by foot, often scaling down rocky cliffs, to fill baskets with next day’s live limpets (commonly known as flithers) for use as hook bait by their fishermen husbands at sea. They were physically robust individuals, originating from the filey area of the yorkshire coast.
Overall good condition, with minor paint wear, minor losses to gilt frame.

Original Oil Painting by the English Artist James R. Webb
By James Webb
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
An atmospheric oil painting depicting a seaside with sunlit high sand dunes in the forefront and in Stark contrast a dark stormy sky in the background with seagulls overhead. Small sailing ships can be seen in the distance. Climbing the dunes is a shepherdess and her small flock of sheep grazing on meagre offerings along the dunes. A young couple can also be seen sitting on the beach in the background. The painting is in its original carved and gilded frame. Signed James Webb and dated 18_7 on the bottom right hand corner of the canvas. Why the artist omitted the "decade" digit and put an underscore instead is a mystery. The painting is set in an intricately carved gilded frame which has been professionally restored.
