George Armfield (fl.1840-1875)
pair of oils on canvas
Spaniels flushing ducks and Terriers beside a rabbit hole
one signed
8 x 10in.
Estimate £400-600

Image of ducks - oil on original canvas, canvas undulating a little with a fine but stable craquelure running throughout and a slightly discoloured varnish so would benefit from a clean, apparently unsigned, probably a little retouching in the paint particularly the blue at the corners.
Image with terriers, less undulation, canvas much flatter and overall in better condition with little sign of any craquelure, signed lower left, both housed in fabric lined mounts and gilt open scroll frames which are in fair order, no labels or inscriptions verso, come for sale from a private collection.
