Old Antique Oil Painting on Canvas of Happy Old Working class Gentleman Portrait - looks like he could have been a sea faring gentleman or farmer…..
Signed J Clark 1912 bottom right - Newlyn School Style
Framed and glazed 19.5” x 17.25”
Wood & gesso ornate frame
Good overall condition with wear and marks consistent with age and use
Issues are as follows
- there is some damage to the bottom frame as seen in the photos
- there is some flaking to the canvas as photographed, the canvas has not been removed from the frame
- it has come straight from storage so most probably has been subjected to a level of damp
A lovely fresh to market painting
Any questions please ask
