    Early 19th-Century English School

    On The Farm

    This early 19th-century English oil painting depicts a farmyard with cattle, sheep and figures.

    With his elbows resting atop a chunky bovine, a weary farmer gazes across his yard. His wife, clutching a large pail, stands alongside, ready to commence milking. Several animals look on with all eyes on the udders. Here’s how to make a cow feel conspicuous.

    Charming farmyard scenes were popular during this period as homeowners sought to decorate their dwellings with rustic images of rural Britain. Notable artists such as George Morland (1763-1804) and John Frederick Herring Sr. (1795-1865) were masters of the craft. Producing numerous characterful depictions of agricultural settings.

    Here, the hills are vaguely reminiscent of Malvern.

    Conservation & History

    We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
