A fine oil on canvas self-portrait by the artist Edwin Walter Marsh 1894-1955. The portrait is expertly handled with focus on the face and expression with a much looser brushwork used for the body and background. The whole has a wonderfully intense presence handled with confidence and I particularly like the paintbrush in hand. The painting is in very good condition, it has been professionally cleaned, and is signed and dated to the lower left: Edwin Marsh 1924. Edwin Walter Marsh 1894-1955 was a portrait and landscape painter from Nottingham and exhibited between 1915-1939. Marsh exhibited mainly in Nottingham with exhibitions at the castle and was an associate member of the Nottingham Society of Artists, he also exhibited at The Royal Cambrian Academy and was a teacher. This self-portrait is framed in a simple painted period frame that works well with the artwork. The painting has a wonderful period look and is ready to hang.Overall sizes in inches including frame: 21 ¾ by 26...
