1860’s LISTED ENGLISH GEORGE HEPPER Sd ORIG O/C FIGURES w/ ANTIQUE GILT FRAME
Listed English Artist George Hepper (1839-1868) Signed & Dated, on lower left, this Rich Interior with Figures. It is an Original Oil on Canvas from either 1863, 1867 or 1868 – very small and hard to make out. We believe a maiden has ventured into a pub during the Christmas season and has unwittingly found herself under a sprig of Mistletoe. A not so handsome gentleman notices and makes his wishes known, which elicits the fantastic expression on her face! Wonderful composition and still sharp color palette employed. There is a little fogginess on the canvas (may need to be cleaned or (re)varnished) and there are some nicks on the frame, but overall they are both in Very Good Antique condition. 2 3/4″ Wide, 2″ Deep, Ornately Carved, Gilt scoop moulding is included complimentary in this listing. We believe the frame is original to the piece.Canvas measures 12 X 16 and is in Very Good Antique condition.Outside measure of the frame is approx. 21 X 17 and is in Very Good Antique condition.
