A rare and historically significant original oil painting by Julius Caesar Ibbetson (1759–1817), titled Figures and Livestock in a Barn, Wales (1792). This signed and dated work beautifully captures 18th-century rural life during a pivotal moment in Britain’s pre-industrial history.
Painted during Ibbetson’s 1792 Welsh tour alongside his patron Hon. Robert Fulke Greville and watercolourist John ‘Warwick’ Smith, the painting documents traditional agricultural practices with remarkable observational detail.
