What subjects appear in these paintings?

The compositions generally combine human figures or domestic animals, such as horses, dogs and livestock, set against natural outdoor backgrounds or rural vistas. Many examples blend portraiture with landscape elements, recording sporting pursuits, farm work or pastoral scenes from past centuries.

How do I care for an oil painting?

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and sources of extreme heat or dampness to protect the canvas and the wooden support. Dust the surface gently with a dry, soft cloth and avoid using any liquid cleaners or solvents on the paint or frame.

Are the frames original to the pieces?

Some works retain their period giltwood or gesso frames, whilst others have been reframed at later dates to suit contemporary tastes. Examining the back of the frame and the fit of the canvas helps determine whether the mounting dates from the same era as the painting.

How can I tell the period of a work?

Dates are often indicated by the clothing of human subjects, the style of the frame, and signatures or inscriptions recorded on the reverse of the canvas or board. Examining the materials used for the stretcher and the type of preparation ground provides further clues to the age of the painting.
