Description

JOHN HOLLAND: a fine quality and beautifully painted OIL PAINTING on canvas entitled" The Cattle Fair".

This exquisite and finely detailed painting depicts all the hustle and bustle of a cattle fair in a busy English market town. The detail is extraordinary, with various people milling around; sheep in their pen; horses of various types tethered and waiting patiently for proceedings to finish, and all this against the backdrop of the town square with the church behind. Signed twice, and further signed on the original label to the reverse. Excellent condition. 31.5 x 24.5ins (80 x 62cms)

***John Holland (active 1831-1879) lived in Nottingham, and it is therefore likely this depicts a market town in the Midlands.
