Works on Canvas
Original 19th Century and 20th Century Paintings in Oil.
Oil paint is lauded for its versatility and as such has been the primary medium used throughout the history of art. Its popularity in Europe dates from around the 12th century where it progressed from egg tempera and wooden panels to oils and canvas. The history of painting on canvas is filled with innumerable innovations which is why it is as popular today as it has ever been.

REF: 5011
Medium - Oil on Canvas
Size - 16" x 22" (41cm x 56cm)
Recto - Signed
Verso – Two old labels from different periods with different reference numbers that mention The Fine Art Society. The older label is not particularly legible but shows Ref No: 29051. The second label states “The Fine Art Society, no: 3269, date January 1969. Pastoral. Sir Alfred East RA”
The labels appear to indicate that the artwork was exhibited at The Fine Art Society in London on two separate occasions with the earlier one quite possibly being the Sir Alfred East Memorial Exhibition in 1918.
