Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1900s.
Works by this artist are hard to track down but his ability is clear to see. Note the composition, with its focus on a gap between the foliage. It guides the eye across the fields and out towards the distant horizon. And the pond is another success, with its simple highlights to capture the light.
Wright hailed from Cleckheaton, Yorkshire but spent most of his adult life in Manchester. His family worked in the wool trade and on the 1901 census’, he was employed as a woolsorter.
But aside from his various roles, his artistic pursuits continued to be his true passion.
In 1930, the year he died, The Telegraph referred to his “deep appreciation of the use of sharp colouring” when describing his work “View from Loughrigg, Ambleside”.
