Lot 347

Description

George Henry Boughton, RA, 
British / American 1833-1905- 

At the well; 

oil on canvas, 46.2 x 30.8 cm. 

Provenance: 
Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 6 February 1981, lot 121 (part). 
Private Collection, UK. 

Note: 
The artist repeatedly returned to the subject of young female figures in a natural setting, often as the personification of the seasons. Boughton's paintings generally present a somewhat romanticised image of rural labour, even when they are not explicitly allegorical, with the present work depicting a contemplative young figure lost in thought, in a dark and dreamy setting. Her pose, the drapery of her costume, and the jug, which is filled to the right, hint towards an element of Classicism. 

Buyer's Premium

The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 26% up to £20,000 (31.2% inclusive of VAT), 25% from £20,001 - £500,000 (30% inclusive of VAT), 20% from £500,001 thereafter (24% inclusive of VAT). The premium price is subject to VAT at the standard rate.

VAT
VAT is not charged on the hammer price unless it is stated that there is 'VAT applicable on the hammer price at the end of the description. Buyer's premium is subject to VAT.
