ARTHUR JOSEPH GASKIN (1862-1928) Original Oil On Board Still Life . Signed 1897.

Arthur Joseph Gaskin RBSA was an English illustrator, painter, teacher and designer of jewellery and enamelwork. Gaskin and his wife Georgie Gaskin were members of the Birmingham Group of Artist-Craftsmen, which sought to apply the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement across the decorative arts.

Not typical of his later works, this classic original is signed by the author on back. It is dated 1897. Good colors. Estate find. Frame included and frame does have damage top left corner. I do not see any damage to the painting other than some background paint loss above the lid on f the pot. The size of the actual painting is 12x18 inches I framed.

This appears to have been sold at auction at some point. The owner traveled throughout Europe during the 1950s-1970s.
