(Scottish,1849-1902) OIl on Canvas

 Alexander Wellwood Rattray, RSW ARSA NEAC (Scottish, 1849-1902). Figure walking amidst silver birches beside a loch oil on canvas. Signed lower left, remains of artist’s label verso 15½ x 23¼in. (39.5 x 59cm.)

Condition: In a 1950s gilt stepped frame with another sketched work of a loch landscape to canvas verso. Not relined, no evidence of retouching or restoration. A Very small hole with scuffed edges to canvas towards the top left corner. The area towards the top centre of canvas showing some craquelure. None elsewhere. The first part of the signature clear, the second half to right indistinct. Would benefit from a light clean.

A superb and most charming painting, very much in the style and pallet of a French artist Eugene Galien Laloue.

Purchase at Country Homes Antiques with confidence.
