Stunning painting after 'The Dead Soldier' by Joseph Wright of Derby by Louis Brunel titled "Shelter" The piece depicts a young mother, shielding her baby, behind the privacy of a makeshift tent, hanging from the branches amidst a war ensuing in the background.
3" Wide, Gilt, 2 piece wood scoop moulding is included in this listing. It is likely that the frame is original to the piece.
Canvas measures 17 X 21 and is in Very Good Antique condition. It is heavily varnished and quite reflective and appears a little darker in person. There is also craquelure (tiny network of cracks in paint surface or varnish) throughout, confirming it's early 1900's age. There is also a patch repair, on reverse, see last image, that was done so long ago that the patina matches the canvas!
Outside measure of the frame is 22 X 26 and is in Good Antique condition w/ signs of handling and repainted damage on inner lip.
Please carefully examine all images for condition.
