Examples :
Painting sold to a customer in Germany ..
' I cannot recommend Mark highly enough - the entire process was smooth, surprisingly fast, the painting was just as described (and more impressive in person), packaging was very secure, and Mark was extremely friendly and helpful. All of this makes me very happy to be a customer again in the future.'
Georgian Toilet Mirror. Customer in Australia ..
''Breathtakingly beautiful Mahogany toilet mirror ! Delicately dovetailed drawers are as smooth as silk. The acorn finials are a treat. The mahogany has a marvelous lustre and fine patina consumate with its age.
Beautifully packed with extreme care it arrived in pristine condition. This seller is an absolute joy to work with ! Many thanks.''

Description
This is a very charming romantic landscape. It dates to the late Georgian period, the early 19th Century, and is painted in oil on a panel of dark mahogany.
The artist has imaginatively created a painting full of interest for the viewer. It features a Mediterranean (Italianate?) landscape and may have been painted for travellers enjoying the 'Grand Tour'.
The scene is set within a valley, nicely framed with woodland trees and mountains, and has a wide river meandering to its estuary in the distance.
There are two focal points which catch the eye, .. a young couple on the river bank with their playful dog, and a beautifully dressed oriental couple on the far side of the river.
The composition features a range of architectural elements, .. a ruined abbey in the foreground, an ancient temple on the hill, arched bridges spanning the river, and 2 villages silhouetted in the distance on either bank.

Professionally cleaned, and in excellent condition. The inner silver gilt slip frame looks original, the outer ebonised black frame is a replacement.
