A View of Christchurch by Stanley Leader. Oil Painting on Canvas Circa 1900

A large, impressive oil on canvas showing a view of Christchurch from the harbour quay with an interesting mix of buildings, cottages, boats and people.

The picturesque scene has been well captured with lovely light across the watery bay, with a view of the church in the distance.

The painting is in excellent original condition, and it displays well with its original bevelled mount with a finely written pen and ink title and artist's name.

The painting is completed with its original Art Nouveau foliate gesso frame.

The painting is fully signed, Stanley Leader, in the bottom left corner.

Stanley Leader was a British artist, well accomplished and quite prolific.

He mainly painted landscapes and pastoral scenes, working between 1880 and 1920.

He has two prominent works in oil on display at the museum gallery, Oldham. One is entitled “On the Llede” and the other “The Falls at Turnbill”

Seascapes are rare by this artist. This one is a lovely, well detailed bright painting in very good original condition.

The painting has been painted on a stretched canvas, signed Reeves of London.

English, circa 1900

Sizes including the frame:
