Painting Details
This is a lovely example of Lidderdale’s work when he was at the top of his game. Depicting a farm girl looking straight out, she has piercing eyes and wry smile that seem to show that she knows something that we do not. She is clearly very attractive and makes a very appealing painting. The painting is beautifully painted and monogrammed in the bottom right CSL ( the monogram is rubbed). The painting is inscribed on the reverse with the artists details(added at a later date.
The painting is offered in an attractive gilt frame.
