DESCRIPTION -   An original early 20th century English School oil on Masonite board portrait painting of a seated clown.

A wonderful portrait painting of a real clown with his classic make-up and traditional clown costume.  This is one of the most authentic clown portraits I have come across. Seems to be monogrammed R.W  bottom right but hard to discern.  

Framed in a more modern dark pine wooden frame. Would benefit from being reframed.

Photographed in natural daylight with no digital enhancements.  

APPROX SIZE of visible image 14" x 11" and 15" x 12" including frame.

CONDITION - In good condition with some surface marks and tiny spots of missing paint.  With some minor signs of age to the frame but generally very good condition - please see photos to satisfy yourself as to condition as they form part of the description.  I do my best to describe all faults but am not infallible so please do not make a purchase unless you are totally happy regarding the condition.  .

Most of the paintings and prints that I source are antique or vintage and as such are not in perfect condition and may need some attention to frames, mounts, glass, fixings, tape, dust, nails etc.  However, I do try to be totally honest and bring any flaws and faults to your attention if present. 

If you require any additional information or pictures, please don't hesitate to contact me as I am more than happy to help with any queries you may have.  

Thank you for looking.  Lots of other paintings and prints listed weekly - please follow to see latest additons.
