Thomas Sidney Cooper RA (British, 1803-1902),
Sheep on a riverbank with windmill beyond,
Oil on canvas,
Signed and dated 1858 lower left, named to frame plate,
30cm x 39.5cm,
Gilt framed
The paint surface shows craquelure throughout. There is a small repair to the lower right quadrant. Examination under UV shows further small areas of over painting. The paint surface is dirty and would benefit from cleaning. The painted black border at the base of the picture appears to be contemporary with the work, and this, together with wear to the other edges of the picture, suggest that is was originally mounted in a smaller frame. The frame appears to be structurally sound, but shows cracks and the odd small loss to the moulded details, and wear to the gilt finish throughout.
