Owen Bowen " Fishing, the Wharfe at Woodhall" Oil Painting

1900 - 1920
Description

Owen Bowen was born in Leeds in 1873. He was educated from an early age during evenings at Leeds School of Art before working as a pottery designer and lithography apprentice. In the early 20th century, Bowen travelled to Holland, where he painted maritime landscapes and windmill scenes. He went on to form what was later known as the Owen Bowen School of Art. Before his death at the age of 94 in 1967, Bowen exhibited his work regularly throughout England, showing at the Walker Gallery, the Royal Cambrian Academy and the R.A. His work is held in many private and public collections and his paintings are in great demand to this day.

The present painting "Fishing at Woodhall on the Wharfe" is an oil on canvas laid on board measuring 14"x 18". It is signed lower right and is in a hand made gilt frame giving an overall size of 22"x 26".

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

British Impressionism blended French plein-air techniques with local British topography, focusing on natural light, fleeting atmospheric conditions, and fluid brushwork rather than strict classical representation.

Artists from this era typically employed oil pigments on stretched linen or canvas board, applying layers with stiff bristle brushes or palette knives to create subtle surface texture.

Authenticity is verified through a painters signature, examination of age-appropriate canvas and stretcher construction, artist registry records, and consistent brushwork technique.

Landscape oil paintings balance modern minimalist spaces when displayed above timber furniture, paired with neutral paint palettes, or integrated into framed gallery walls.

Oil paintings should be kept away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources, requiring gentle dusting with a dry soft brush and periodic professional conservation.
