Oil Painting Farmstead by Strafford Newmarch 1874

This is a charming 19th century oil painting on canvas beautifully framed in its original gilt and gesso moulded frame.

The painting is signed by the artist Strafford Newmarch who was active between 1861 and 1895.

This work is signed and dated 1874 and depicts a typical Victorian farmstead with figures labouring and a horse drinking from a trough in a yard. The painting is in delightful warm colours and is in its original frame which is in excellent condition.

As noted by the National Academy of Design records, the artist resided in Brooklyn and exhibited works that took the New England landscape as their inspiration including Through the Petersham Woods; Old Saw Mill on the Whippany; and The Bass Rock, New Neptune House, New Rochelle. In addition to landscapes, Newmarch painted seascapes and picturesque genre scenes such as Drinking from the Trough that demonstrated his accomplished style and ability to paint the human figure within comfortable views of rural life. When not painting, the artist exhibited works at the aforementioned National Academy of Design and with the Brooklyn Art Association.

The Paisley Museum & Art Gallery hold a work “Loch with a Keep” in their collection and the River & Rowing Museum in London have one of Richmond Bridge.

The frame measures 53 cms by 46 cms overall.
