Superb Oil Painting by Edmund Bristow (1787-1876)

A superb oil on canvas by highly regarded artist Edmund Bristow 1787-1876. The work beautifully and with great detail depicts two figures in an inn setting. The interior is also represented in another work by the artist where it is located as the Turks Head, Eton. The quality of the painting is quite stunning particularly the figures and even the little dog at their feet as well as in the intricate detail in the background. The painting has been professionally cleaned and lined at some point in the past it is in excellent condition.

Edmund Bristow 1787-1876 was a sporting and animal painter who live in Windsor where he was patronised by the Duke of Clarence, later William VI, and by other members of the Royal family. He did exhibit for a brief period at the Royal Academy, showing 7 works between 1809-1829. He painted mainly sporting scenes, animals, portraits, rustic genre and landscape scenes. His style is more in the manner of Morland and Ibbetson than of the Victorian period. Bristow's character was reclusive, and he disliked patronage up to the point where he would refuse to sell works.

The painting is mounted in the original superb period gilt frame which is in great untouched condition. It has all the original gilding and is ascribed with the name: E Bristow of Windsor. To the lower left of the frame is also featured the faint outline of a title which is now illegible.

A rare work by a highly desirable early nineteenth century artist, with the wonderful look of a great country house. C.1845
