Follower of Henry Alken
Follower of Henry Alken Over the brook inscribed 'J. N. Sartorius' (lower left) oil on canvas laid onto panel 21 x 34.5cm
Provenance: Ballykeel House, Hillsborough, Northern Ireland
Framed 39 x 53.5cm The painting is executed in oil on a linen canvas support which has been laid onto board. The canvas is secure although there are minor undulations across the surface. Along the upper section of the painting there are horizontal lines of wrinkling present with some raised blisters of paint. The original paint layer has been thinly applied and is worn and abraded in areas. There is extensive overpaint present, particularly in the sky, probably to cover abrasion. The varnish is clear, even and glossy with a light layer of surface dirt. On the reverse of the panel is a second canvas with some evidence of paint work but extensive losses and flaking.
