Here are a striking pair of early 19th Century Pen, Ink and Wash drawings of idyllic rural village life.Both paintings depict the bucolic scene of a village under a hazy summer sky, the trees billowing as jackdaws circle the church tower. In one, an old man wanders across the street supported by a large staff - you can almost hear the birds, and the sound of chickens scratching in the back gardens of the cottages, and the gentle murmur of voices coming from the pub.Created by a highly skilled and very talented hand, the slightest lines and shading bring to life the houses, with great depth and solidity - if you study the pictures, every mark is perfectly made with no room for error.Both pictures come mounted under card and glass and are in painted wooden frames. Framed they measure 61cm by 50cm, with the actual image measuring 57cm by 47cm. The frames show signs of surface wear to be expected, but are both strong and sturdyThe mounts are exactly the same / same colour - it was really difficult to photograph the two together without the light reflecting back, so there are no marks on them it''s just the background reflecting!Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can provide any further information or photographs.I offer free delivery across mainland UK, and am very happy to help with quotes for shipping abroad.Height is 61cm (24.0inches)
