About the Item

Teutward SCHMITSON (1830-1863) – Winter Scene with Horses and Cart Medium: Oil on canvas Framed Dimensions: 34 x 42 cm Canvas Dimensions: 19 x 29 cm Signature: Lower right corner A captivating 19th-century oil painting by Teutward Schmitson (1830-1863), a European artist known for his expressive and atmospheric depictions of rural life. This winter landscape masterfully conveys the struggle of man and beast against the harsh elements, a hallmark of genre painting from the period. The composition features a group of figures guiding a horse-drawn cart loaded with hay through a snowy terrain, rendered with dynamic brushstrokes and a restrained yet evocative color palette. The piece is housed in a richly ornamented antique gilded frame, enhancing its historical presence. Provenance Historical Significance The reverse side bears an inscription linking the painting to Plk. Bohumil Beran, Prague, and details a 1947 dedication in Brno from Marie Beranová (née Mandlická) and her husband Karel Liška of Prague. Additionally, the name Schirzner Ferstwartz is mentioned, along with a reference to March 2, 1863, in Vienna, possibly indicating a connection to the artist's passing. This artwork is an exceptional acquisition for collectors of 19th-century European genre paintings, historical Czech art, or those interested in pieces with distinguished provenance. Condition: Excellent for its age, with minor signs of historical wear, enhancing its authenticity and character. A rare opportunity to own a museum-worthy painting with a documented history.

"Winter Wonderland"
Located in Edinburgh, GB
Unidentified Artist (19th Century) "Winter Wonderland" (1885) This charming 19th-century oil painting captures a winter landscape, depicting three figures trudging through the snow, engaged in animated conversation. The scene is set against a serene rural backdrop, where bare trees and a distant village silhouette convey the stark beauty of winter. The soft glow of the sky, transitioning from warm hues to cool whites, enhances the tranquil yet brisk atmosphere of a cold winter’s day. Plot & Interpretation The three travelers appear to be peasants or laborers, possibly returning home or embarking on a journey. Their layered winter clothing, fur hats, and backpacks suggest they are seasoned wanderers or workers, braving the elements. The gesturing figure in the middle seems to be engaged in storytelling or giving directions, adding a sense of movement and interaction. The snow-covered ground and delicate shadows create depth, emphasizing the hardship and resilience of rural life in the 19th century.

Three horses are shown eating hay from a cart in the shade of a barn. Two figures and a dog are also depicted taking their repast. On the left of the scene, open fields can be seen through a gate whilst in the far distance a church and other buildings can be made out on the brow of a hill. Thomas Blinks was born in Maidstone, Kent on 29 October 1853 to Richard Blinks and Eleanor Poile.

Whilst largely self- taught, Blinks would have learnt basic anatomy from working with his father, but he also spent time at Tattersalls canine and horse auctions...
