19th CENTURY NEEDLEWORK STITCHERY & OIL PAINTING  'CLOSE TO THE WELL OF SAMARIA'

This beautiful old picture is a mixed media work incorporating both oil painting and stitchery or needlework.  It is in a wonderful, old oak frame which measures approximately 14 3/8" high by 17 9/16" wide.

The label on the back is partly intact and says, "Close to the Well in Samaria (Palestine).  Painted and worked by Tom (or John)?"  The artist's last name is gone as the label has deteriorated.  It has what I believe is the original framer's label.  The label says, "L.J. Robertson, Picture Framer, 9 Mill Street, Perth (I presume Australia)."

The actual artwork measures (as found in the frame) 10 3/8" high by 13 7/8" wide.
