George Turner (1841-1910)
"Harvesting near Kirk Ireton, Derbyshire"
Signed, inscribed and dated 1901 verso, oil on canvas, 58.5cm by 90cm
Sold for £3,000
Estimated at £300 - £500
In restored condition. Relined (the original title, signature, inscription and dated has therefore been transcribed), cleaned and revarnished. General retouching and infilling throughout sky to old craquelure and flaked paint. The darker shadows and outline of the branches of the trees have likely been strengthened in addition to the signature. Some of the retouching is evident with the eye. The paint is slightly thin in places and the weave of the canvas is therefore evident. Varying sized craquelure, most evident within the sky and particularly upper right hand corner. Otherwise in a stable state of preservation.
