British School, mid 18th century- A wooded landscape with a figure on the path to a cottage, a horse and cart beyond; oil on canvas, 63 x 74.5 cm. (unframed). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work depicts a typically British woodland, with a cottage nestled beneath a thick canopy of trees, whilst also recalling the broad expanse of Italianate landscapes, with the horizon fading away into mountains beyond. The peaceful scene, with a lone figure making her towards the quaint cottage to the left, creates an idealised and romanticised sense of rural existence.
