Contact SellerStudio RT Ltd ▼

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely impressionist oil on canvas by the artist DANIEL SHERRIN, who has signed the painting in the lower left hand corner. The painting depicts a rural landscape scene with a cart loaded with hay, drawn by two horses and some figures loading the cart. There is a lake with reed beds in the foreground. It is obviously a blustery day with some storm clouds scudding across the sky.

To quote from Jeremy Wood's excellent book 'Hidden Talents'

'Daniel Sherrin was born in Brentford, Essex in 1868, the son of John Sherrin R.I., the well known flower and still life painter. There is no record of him receiving a formal art training but it is probable that he studied with his father. Most of Daniel Sherrin's work is in the style of several popular artists of the time. He painted rural landscapes after the style of Benjamin W. Leader, marines after Montague Dawson and river scenes in watercolour after Stuart Lloyd. He did not exhibit in London, but preferred to work directly under contract for a gallery, painting the subject (and styles) that they required. He also painted under the pseudonym of L. Richards and these are quite often seen on the market. The family moved to Ramsgate, Kent, when Daniel was a young boy and his father died there in 1896. Daniel Sherrin later moved to Seasalter, near Whitstable, Kent and died there on 26th January 1940. The artistic talent was carried to a third generation for his son Reginald Daniel Sherrin was also an artist.' (One of his typically large watercolours is illustrated in this book).
