Description: Exquisite Little Old Master Miniature Monochrome Drawing Sensitively realized in subtle sepia washes and delicate line work on laid paper. Depicted are three figures with their farm livestock, at rest within an idyllic rural setting. Included are enigmatic elements - a standing cross and a tower belching smoke in the background on the right. Unsigned and therefore difficult to date or attribute. The shepherdess' costume looks to be 18th century. Presented under old 'wavy' glass in a good quality cross-banded frame with ebonized stringing.This quality is also reflected in the picture mount which has been covered with lovely old ivory watered silk which compliments the drawing beautifully. In good condition with no tears, holes, stains or foxing.There is a small bruise to the bottom edge of the antique frame. Approximate Dimensions:13cm (5") x 8cm (3")Frame Size: 19cm (7½") x 14cm (5½") The photographs constitute part of the description. Always packed with care.
