Description

We are offering for sale this interesting oil painting on canvas by the Midlands artist Michael Scott, who has signed the painting Scott in the right left hand corner. The painting depicts a corner of a garden or farmyard, where an old rusty pump still stands, over the stone trough that used to hold the water. The trough is now filled with earth and contains a flowering plant that is spilling over onto the ground. To the right of the pump is a coopered barrel containing more flowers. The artist has even captured the rust stains running down the bleached wooden support that holds the pump.

Unfortunately we have been unable to discover any biographical details about the artist and, as we have so little details other than his name, cannot even find out when he was born or died, if indeed he has died, as there are so many people with this name. However, we believe that he was resident somewhere in the Midlands.

The painting has been very expensively framed in a 3 1/4" mottled beige and gilt swept frame, glazed and mounted with a gilt insert to give size and depth. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
