About the Item
This antique 19th century French oil on canvas landscape painting, dating to circa 1890, is by Gustave Mascart (1834–1914) and depicts a tranquil riverside scene animated by a traditional windmill, rustic dwellings, and moored boats beneath a softly luminous sky. Mascart, who also worked under the pseudonym Mariani, is listed in the Bénézit Dictionary of Artists and is recognized for his atmospheric views of canals and rural waterways in northern France and the Low Countries.
The composition is balanced and quietly narrative, with the windmill rising as a vertical anchor against the open sky while the reflective waterway draws the eye into the distance. Loose yet confident brushwork enlivens the foliage, rooftops, and rippling water, while subtle modulation of light and color reflects the artist’s academic training and sensitivity to changing weather and time of day. The warm, harmonious palette blends earthy browns and greens with cool blues and silvery highlights.
The painting is signed G. Mascart at the lower right and is presented in a richly carved antique giltwood frame with foliate molding, appropriate to the period and enhancing its decorative presence. The reverse bears a detailed biographical and exhibition label documenting the artist’s career and market history. The work is in excellent antique condition, with wear consistent with age and use.

19th century landscape oil painting of a village tavern with a windmill
By John Holland Senior
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
John Holland Snr
British, (1830-1886)
The Windmill Tavern
Oil on canvas, signed
Image size: 13 inches x 20.5 inches
Size including frame: 18.25 inches x 25.75 inches
Provenance: Frost & Reed
A pleasing landscape painting of the Windmill Tavern by John Holland Snr. The scene depicts a large group of people conversing outside the inn whilst others make their way along a country track running beside it. The building and windmill pictured here appear very similar to those situated at Reigate Heath in Surrey. The mill at Reigate was built in 1753 and was still used for grinding wheat up until around 1870. The main building is now the Reigate Heath Golf Club. The windmill still stands today and is owned and maintained by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council.
John Holland Senior was a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes who was born in Nottingham around 1830. He was the son of a painter and brother to Samuel Holland also a painter and sign writer. He was also uncle to his namesake John Holland (1857-1920) whom he taught to work in charcoal and Samuel S. Holland, both of whom were artists.
By 1861, he had become a full time artist exhibiting at Suffolk Street from around this time until 1879, at the British Institution between 1865-1866 as well as exhibiting locally in Nottingham. He never married and lived for many years with his father, brother and his family at Vernon Street, Nottingham. Around 1867, he moved to Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire where he exhibited locally. He would also often travel around the British countryside and coast to paint.
He spent a few years in West Yorkshire but by 1871 had moved back to live with his family in Nottingham. However, he spent his final years living at Trebray Lodge, Tintagel, Cornwall where he died on 7 February 1886.
A number of his works are held by the Buxton Museum, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, Nottingham Art Gallery and the Williamson Art Gallery.
Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. The reverse bears an old label for Frost & Reed. Frost & Reed are a well-known fine Art Gallery, frame maker and fine art publisher founded in Bristol in 1808 by William Hill. The business was bought by John Frost in 1859 who ran it until his death in 1875. His nephew Walter Frost took over the business and in 1881 brought in William Reed...
