About the Item

This is a very interesting small antique original, oil on canvas painting, dating to the mid-19th century. The painting shows a landscape scene of a shanty town of simple buildings, all set in a clearing with woods and high hills in the background, a church at the base of the hill, various people, children and three long washing lines of which one is in the left-hand foreground with a another building by a fenced area in the lower right foreground. The wood frame, constructional details, age and colour of canvas all clearly point to the 19th Century for this oil painting. The style, layout and detail ( see washing line in the foreground) indicate an accomplished artist resulting in a nice quality individual painting. We are of the opinion that this could be a mining shanty town or perhaps a penal colony. We do not know the artist or the location of the scene in this painting.
