ITEM DESCRIPTION
Item Description
Up for your consideration is an original painting by FREDERICK GOODALL (ENGLAND 1822-1904), WATERCOLOR, MOTHER AND CHILD, SIGNED (CYPHER) 1861. SIGHT 20 X 16"; FRAMED AND GLAZED-29 X 24"
The painting depicts a young muslim infant and mother, and is in excellent presentable condition, The original frame has some losses (as shown), and the watercolor has some minor concerns: (1) There is a small 1/4" tear at the very top of the piece, (2) there is some light foxing, and one pen-tip sized spot, (3) there is a vertical line (somewhat faint) on the right side, likely from a previous backing, The old materials have been removed, and the piece is now mounted with archival quality materials, with the exception of the original matte which has a scratch to the upper left corner. All these concerns are clearly depicted in the pictures.
Goodall was born in 1822, the second son of steel line engraver Edward Goodall (1795§1870). He received his education at the Wellington Road Academy.
Frederick's first commission, for Isambard Brunel, was six watercolour paintings of the Rotherhithe Tunnel. Four of these were exhibited at the Royal Academy when Frederick was 16. His first oil won a Society of Arts silver medal. He exhibited work at the Royal Academy 27 times between 1838 and 1859. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy (ARA) in 1852 and a full Royal Academician (RA) in 1863.Goodall visited Egypt in 1858 and again in 1870, both times travelling and camping with Bedouin tribesmen. In order to provide authentic detail to his paintings, Goodall brought back sheep and goats from Egypt. The Egyptian theme was prominent in his work, with 170 paintings being exhibited at the Royal Academy over 46 years.
Goodall's work received high praise and acclaim from critics and artists alike and he earned a fortune from his paintings. He had a home built at Grim's Dyke, Harrow Weald, where he would entertain guests such as the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII).
SHIPPING COSTS/TERMS
SHIPPING COST FOR THIS ITEM IS $65.00

This charge includes all costs including quality packing, shipping fees, & full insurance at the purchase price. International shipping is available, but prior permission by the seller is required before you bid.
WHY SHIPPING MAY TAKE UP TO 10 DAYS AFTER PAYMENT
Safe shipping methods is a priority for me!!! Often this requires having custom made packaging from an outside service, or the use of 3rd party insurance (i.e. not from UPS or FedEx who are notorious for not paying claims). These issues can be resolved, but require the use of a professional packing service, and this can add several days to the shipment. If this is an issue, please notify me, as most items are shipped much sooner (especially if I can pack the item myself). However, please be aware that when making a purchase, there is a possibility that I will need to outsource the packaging. I do guarantee that it will be shipped (from our end) within 10 days after payment.
