Original Oil on Canvas: River Landscape with Figure and Mountains

A atmospheric original oil painting of a tranquil river valley. A figure walks along a winding track past a thatched cottage and silver birch trees, with a calm stretch of river on the right and misty blue mountains fading into the distance. The soft golden light and warm autumnal palette give the scene a nostalgic, romantic feel.

Painted in the manner of Francis E. Jamieson (1895–1950), whose Highland and Lakeland views were hugely popular in the early 20th century. This would sit well in a traditional, country-house or cottage interior.

Condition

Antique oil painting in good, original condition for its age. The canvas shows the natural age-related craquelure and surface patina you would expect, and the frame has some minor rubbing and wear to the gilt. The back shows old repairs or patches, original stretcher and hanging cord, and some old chalk marks. The painting has not been cleaned or restored to my knowledge. Please study all photos carefully, as they form part of the description.

Postage

Carefully packed with protective corners and bubble wrap. Because of the size and glass-free but delicate surface, I recommend tracked and insured delivery. Collection is welcome, and combined postage is available on multiple items. Please message us for an international quote.
