This charming oil on canvas painting depicts a scene titled "Feeding Chickens at the Old Mill," attributed to the Circle of Frederic Stuart Richardson, a prominent member of the Staithes Group. The artwork, measuring 49cm x 75cm, captures a tranquil rural setting with meticulous attention to detail and a soft colour palette typical of the artist's style.
The composition showcases a group of chickens being fed near an old mill, evoking a sense of nostalgia and simplicity. The brushwork and use of light in this piece are reminiscent of Richardson's work, known for its naturalistic and emotive qualities.
Despite being unsigned, the painting exudes the charm and skill characteristic of the artist's circle, making it a delightful addition to any collection of British art. Don't miss the opportunity to bid on this exquisite work at the upcoming auction held by Duggleby Auctioneers.
