Late 18th Century English Oil Painting – Civil War Scene with Horse and Soldier

About the Item

Late 18th Century English Oil Painting – Civil War Scene with Horse and Soldier A finely composed late 18th to early 19th century English oil painting on panel, depicting a romanticised scene inspired by the English Civil War. A standing soldier, accompanied by his white horse and a dog at rest, occupies the foreground, while tents and mounted figures suggest a military encampment in the distance. The landscape and sky are rendered in rich tones, lending drama and atmosphere to the composition. Executed in a provincial British manner typical of the Georgian period, the work combines narrative charm with decorative appeal. The painting is presented in a later 19th-century giltwood frame with classical mouldings. This piece was removed from a historic farmhouse in Worcestershire, England, where it had been retained for many years. Origin: England Date: Circa 1790–1810 Medium: Oil on hardwood panel Frame: Mid-19th century giltwood frame Dimensions (framed): 23.6 x 20.5 inches (60 x 52 cm) Dimensions (panel): 20 x 16.9 inches (51 x 43 cm) Style: British provincial / vernacular Condition: Structurally sound with age-related wear. Notable area of paint loss to the upper right, scattered surface abrasions, and natural craquelure. The frame shows wear to gilding with minor losses and sections of releafing. A decorative and evocative period piece, ideal for traditional interiors or collectors of early English equestrian and military scenes.
