This will allow you to zoom in and inspect the quality and condition. ATT BENJAMIN BARKER OF BATH 1776-1838 LANDSCAPE A stunning 19th century oil painting, of which we are attributing to the well listed artist Benjamin Barker of Bath, depicting a beautiful landscape at dusk, with a drover sat with his cattle . The painting is of excellent quality, the period and quality matching Barker's work. Signed and dated 1826 to lower right. The painting is presented in a decent gilt frame, which compliments the piece well. The painter Benjamin Barker was the younger brother of Thomas Barker (Barker of Bath), and the son of the painter Benjamin Barker the elder. He was largely self-taught, learning by copying the pictures of other artists, including those of his more famous brother. Once established, he made sketching tours to the more picturesque parts of England and Wales, occasionally accompanied by his brothers Thomas and Joseph. He exhibited in Bath, sometimes jointly with Thomas, and also sent works to the British Institution and the Royal Academy, where he exhibited from 1806-38. However, his reputation remained largely local. His daughter Marianne Barker (later Marianne Wallace) was also a painter, and exhibited at the RA. Period: 19th Century Medium: Oil on canvas Category: Landscape Style: Realism Size (H x W): 31 cm x 46 cm (Un-Framed) 50 cm x 62 cm (Framed) Provenance: From the estate of a private collector in Wiltshire Condition: The painting has a few scuffs and strains to the canvas, a little craquelure in areas, but the overall condition is very good, with the colours and distinction of the piece still bright. The frame has a little loss to the edges. Please View My Other Items For Sale or Visit My eBay Store .
