A small early 19th century oil painting on canvas of a rural landscape, showing a large tree by a river with rocky falls, and a figure in the foreground fishing, and with further trees, figures and a ruin, looking towards distant hills, signed Williams lower left and framed in an elaborate gilt frame. English, circa 1820. Canvas size: 30 x 38 cm (12” x 15”) Condition: Excellent, the painting is in very good condition as is the frame, the canvas has been relined and the painting cleaned and revarnished, the frame has been restored and the gilding retouched where appropriate. Overall this is a charming painting with a delightful feeling to it and very redolent of Georgian rural life. Dimensions: Height = 46 cm (18”) Width = 52 cm (20½”)
