'On the Old Road, Capel Curig',
signed and dated 1900,
24 x 35in.
Estimate £1,500-2,000

Oil on the original canvas which is now starting to sag. Paint is very dirty with some discoloured varnish showing near the top left. A little fine but stable craquelure in the thickest of the white. Two small losses of paint near the margin at 3 o'clock . Signed and dated lower right. Inscribed with title verso. Very grubby white painted frame.
Overall an honest picture that should clean to good effect.
