William Hoggatt RI, RBC, RCamA (1880-1961) "A Small Farmstead, Isle of Man" Signed and...

In good original unlined condition, the work is signed and dated as well as bearing the artist's original label to the reverse of the stretcher. It has a great deal of dirt across the surface as well as discoloured varnish. There is a very small amount of crackelure to the surface but this can only just be seen in the white washed cottage behind the figure and there is a small scuff mark amongst the branches of the tree to the right of the figure, and a further smaller scuff mark in the hedge approximately 6-7 inches from the chickens to the right. Contained within its original gilt plaster and wooden frame with inner gilt slip, the gilded slip is rather stained with nicotine and dirt etc (160312)
