About the Item

Very fine mid 19th century oil on canvas, mounted on board; depicting pastoral countryside scene of flock of 16 sheep covered in full grown fleece; walking in stride down a winding dirt road, straight towards the viewer; a shepherd brings up the rear with his sheep dog nearby. Birch, pine trees, and a split rail fence border the trail. Painting almost has a folk art surreal look to it; very pleasant. Professionally mounted in a mid 19th century gold leaf 3" wide period frame with floral and acanthus leaf design and a beige linen 2" matte border. The painting is signed "Cecil Hill" in the lower left corner; directly underneath his signature are the letters "N Y" clearly delineated, which would probably indicate New York state genesis (see image). Sheep and cattle farming were quite prevalent in upstate New York from 1800 thru 1860; especially given the Scottish, English, and Irish immigration during that period. Westchester was a very prolific farming community during that period of time. Additionally, I acquired the painting through a New York estate sale. The picture has been black lighted to reveal that the painting is all original with no touch-up or repaint. Excellent, clean and strong surface. Dimensions: 12" high x 16" wide (painting itself) 21 1/2" high x 25 1/2" wide x 3" deep (frame) Note: I am a second generation antiques dealer and have been in business, buying, selling, and collecting, fine art and antiques for 50 years; I am also a member of several prestigious antique associations. Thus, I am well qualified to inspect and evaluate the products I offer for sale and I guarantee this to be authentic and as I have described.
