About the Item
This charming British Victorian genre oil painting is by noted exhibited artist Henry Tuner Munns. It was painted in 1865 in realist palette with superb detail in the young boy's face and heavy impasto on his clothing. The subject is a boy in ragged clothing sat on stone steps outside an office, with his cap out for money, still empty. He has with him a wooded guinea pig cage with a large favoured guinea pig on top being hand fed scraps, its young inside. Munns was clearly sympathetic to the plight of the poor in Victorian England, if painting it in a romanticised golden glow, along side compassion for animals. A lovely painting for guinea pig enthusiasts.

Out of Mischief - British Victorian 1891 art interior portrait oil painting
Located in Hagley, England
This absolutely charming exhibited British Victorian oil painting is by female artist Maria Louisa Angus. Painted in 1891, it was exhibited at the Royal Academy that same year. The composition is an interior scene with two young girls on a sofa, looking at a picture book and keeping 'out of mischief' as it is entitled. The room holds an exotic mix of oriental objects and a gorgeous umbrella plant in a gleaming terracotta pot. The girls themselves are sat on a beautifully detailed fur throw, looking at a book, with a marine painting on the wall behind them. The brushwork and colouring are superb and the pink of the older girl's dress is picked up throughout the room. A really lovely painting by a very talented Victorian female artist.

Young Man with Two Dogs in a Landscape - British Edwardian art oil painting
Located in Hagley, England
This superb British Edwardian figurative landscape oil painting is by noted animal artist Edwin Noble. Painted in 1904 it is a large and detailed painting of a young man, kneeling in a grassy thicket with his two dogs, a lurcher and terrier. He is restraining the dogs whilst his ferret goes down a rabbit hole in the hedgerow. Two dead rabbits are already lying on the grass beside them. Beyond is a county landscape of fields and trees. The young man in his stripped shirt and waistcoat and the two white dogs really stand out in the mass of greenery around them as do the white wild flowers at their feet. The detail and brushwork are superb. This is an excellent example of Edwin Noble's work as an animal painter in the Edwardian period and also depicts country pursuits.
