Attributed to Patrick Nasmyth (Scottish 1787-1831), an oil on canvas of a waterfall in a wooded landscape, with mountains in the background and hunter and dog in the foreground, framed and glazed in a 19thC thick ornate gilt frame with painted inscription to bottom centre reading 'BORN 1871 P.NASMYTH DIED 1831', the back with (probably) prewar Albert Amor dealer's paper label to the bottom stretcher, canvas 48.5cm high, 40.5cm wide, frame 70.2cm high, 62.2cm wide.
FOOTNOTE: Patrick Nasmyth was the eldest son of Alexander Nasmyth (1758–1840) who was best known as ‘the father of landscape painting in Scotland’. He modelled his style on Dutch seventeenth-century artists, especially Meindert Hobbema, and was nicknamed the ‘Scottish Hobbema’. Albert Amor Ltd is a well-known antique dealership in St James', London, founded in c1900. Although the company became best known for its expertise in, and stock of, fine porcelain, the company also acquired and sold many notable other works over the decades including Lily, Duchess of Marlborough's pearl necklace (bought from Christie's in 1911 for over £16,000), and the dining suite from Lord Nelson's cabin on HMS Victory. In 1921, Albert Amor was appointed Antiquary to Her Majesty Queen Mary. The company continues today, specialising in English porcelain.
Condition: Not examined out of frame, and not examined with a UV light. No apparent, holes, tears, repairs or loss of paint to the surface. Could certainly do with a professional clean.
