William H Myers 1917 Signed Original Early 20th Century Antique Oil Painting Cattle in Woodland British Landscape

1900 - 1920
Description

Type of artwork: Original Oil Paintings

Surface: Canvas

Artist and signature: William H Myers 1890-1924

Approximate age of artwork: Dated 1917

Depiction or Location: Cattle in a Woodland Landscape

Is the artwork Framed or Mounted: Unframed but is ready to hang.

Condition report: The painting is in fair antique condition overall, with clear age-related wear consistent with an oil on canvas dated 1917. There is widespread craquelure and surface cracking, particularly across the darker woodland areas, together with scattered abrasions, small losses and general surface wear. The canvas shows age-related discolouration and there are visible marks and staining to the reverse. The stretcher and canvas edges also show wear, with some fraying and old fixing marks around the perimeter.

Despite this, the composition remains strong and highly atmospheric, with the cattle, trees and shafts of light still clearly legible. The painting is offered unframed and as found, and would benefit from professional conservation/cleaning if desired. Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.

Approximate Size of the Painting is approx. 76 x 51 cm

Date of Manufacture

Strickland & Russell has dated this Antique Woodland Oil Painting to the 1910s.

Signature and date 1917 lower left: fixes the year.
Fine age craquelure across the paint: natural drying over a century.
Canvas secured to pine stretchers with darkened iron tacks: traditional early twentieth-century mounting.
Darkened linen on the reverse: expected natural oxidisation of older fabric.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This early twentieth-century oil painting on canvas depicts an atmospheric Edwardian British landscape by the artist William H Myers, dated 1917. The composition presents a woodland scene featuring tall vertical pine trees with brown trunks, interspersed with dark green foliage and dappled sunlight illuminating a clearing below where cattle graze. The unframed canvas measures 76 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. Condition reports note fair antique status with widespread craquelure, surface cracking across darker areas, scattered abrasions, small paint losses, canvas discolouration, and staining to the reverse, alongside fraying and old fixing marks around the perimeter edges. This landscape artwork brings traditional English Country House charm to domestic interiors. It hangs suitably above the mantel in a living room, study, or hallway, adding a moody yet pastoral focal point to the wall. The piece arrives ready to hang without a frame, retaining its raw historic appeal while offering an authentic period window into a rural British woodland setting.

FAQs

Early 20th-century British landscape art often blended traditional naturalism with impressionistic brushwork, focusing on rural working scenes, woodland views, and agricultural life during a period of rapid industrial change.

Artists during this period typically applied hand-mixed or tubed oil pigments onto stretched woven canvas or timber panels, secured using wooden stretcher frames.

Authentic period works display natural age-related craquelure, timber stretcher oxidisation, artist signatures consistent with period records, and woven canvas backing showing gentle discolouration.

Position the painting as a focal point above a mantelpiece, console table, or amidst a contemporary gallery wall to create a striking contrast between historical subject matter and modern decor.

Keep the canvas away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent warping, dust softly using a dry brush, and avoid applying commercial cleaning chemicals.
