About the Item

A charming and evocative British landscape titled Blackberry Time by Eleanor S. Wood, depicting a young girl in a bright red bonnet accompanied by a small terrier on a sunlit country path. Surrounded by late-summer hedgerows glowing with amber and gold tones, the scene captures the simple pleasures of blackberry gathering in the English countryside. Wood's brushwork is soft and atmospheric, balancing impressionistic color with narrative detail. The vivid red bonnet and scarf provide a striking focal point against the muted greens and ochres of the landscape, while the loyal terrier lends warmth and personality to the composition. The painting possesses the nostalgic character of Edwardian and early twentieth-century British genre painting, celebrating rural life and childhood innocence. Of particular interest is the original presentation plaque mounted to the frame, recording that the work was presented to the Borough of Stretford by H. H. Gibson, Esq. in 1936. This civic provenance gives the painting an unusual historical dimension and suggests it was valued as part of a municipal collection or public display. The Borough of Stretford had only recently received its municipal charter in 1933, making the 1936 presentation date especially noteworthy. Presented in its substantial period gilt frame with original plaque, the work offers both decorative appeal and documented provenance, making it an attractive acquisition for collectors of British paintings, regional history, and English country subjects. canvas size 44 x 59 cm signed at the bottom right Eleanor S, Wood

Young Man with Two Dogs in a Landscape - British Edwardian art oil painting

Young Man with Two Dogs in a Landscape - British Edwardian art oil painting

Located in Hagley, England

This superb British Edwardian figurative landscape oil painting is by noted animal artist Edwin Noble. Painted in 1904 it is a large and detailed painting of a young man, kneeling in a grassy thicket with his two dogs, a lurcher and terrier. He is restraining the dogs whilst his ferret goes down a rabbit hole in the hedgerow. Two dead rabbits are already lying on the grass beside them. Beyond is a county landscape of fields and trees. The young man in his stripped shirt and waistcoat and the two white dogs really stand out in the mass of greenery around them as do the white wild flowers at their feet. The detail and brushwork are superb. This is an excellent example of Edwin Noble's work as an animal painter in the Edwardian period and also depicts country pursuits.
