About the Item
As we gaze upon at this artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to the foreground where a comical spectacle unfolds before us. A carriage, stubbornly stuck in the midst of a ford, serves as the focal point of the scene unfolding. A woman, exuding authority and determination, directs three men in their efforts to free the cart from its watery trap. One can almost imagine the air filled with the woman's colorful speech as events unfolds, with even the white dog on the shore joining in the cacophony with its loud barks. The left side of the picture depicts a traveling married couple, who from a distance observes and discusses the action before them. In the center of landscape, there stands a large quaint house perched on a small rock. Surrounding it are rolling hills and fields stretching out as far as the eye can see. This painting is a prime example of capriccio, a style popular during the Baroque era that combined elements of fantasy and reality to create scenes. Painting conserved and canvas relined in Manchester in period of 1856-1886 by Joseph Robert Taylor (1835?-1889) – see stamp. Antique oil painting on canvas, unsigned, unframed.

Fording the River Landscape British Master Nasmyth 19th century Oil Painting
Located in Stockholm, SE
Signed lower right "Nasmyth" leading to one of the whole pleiad of renowned Scottish artists starting with Alexander Nasmyth (1758 -1840). This painting showcases a scene of a landscape with shallow water, where a family is seen wading through a river ford in knee-deep water. The presence of a shepherdess on a high bank, observing the travelers with keen interest, adds a sense of pastoral charm to the composition. One of the focal points of the painting is a picturesque tree that has fallen into the river, adding a touch of drama to the overall scene. The contrast between the lush woodland and bushes on the right side of the foreground and the rolling valley on the left side further enhances the depth and perspective of the painting and superbly illustrates the traditions of the early 19th century British Art...
