19th-Century Dutch School Landscape With Villagers
Photos
Description
A charming 19th-century oil on canvas depicting a Dutch rural scene with a cottage, country track, figures and a distant view. It’s skillfully rendered and probably after one of the 17th-century Dutch old masters, such as Meindert Hobbema (1638-1709).The Dutch enjoyed landscape painting during the 17th-century and you’ll often find rural views animated with local peasants chatting or travelling. Painters such Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564-1638) would fill their scenes with an abundance of characters - each with their own story.
Here we see two older males having a natter while a dog waits patiently by their side. They’re both leaning on walking sticks as they discuss the day’s events.
Above them, a vast sky is thick with rolling clouds, which seems to indicate that rain could be on its way. Huge skies are another characteristic of Dutch landscape painting as The Netherlands is well known for its flat environment.
This is a beautiful piece by well-trained hand.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
