Description
Edgar Longstaffe,
British 1852-1933-
A wooded river landscape with a boy fishing on a summer's day;
oil on canvas, signed with monogram 'EL' and dated '1888' (lower left), 40.5 x 61 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
Longstaffe travelled widely across the UK throughout his career, and his sketches of beauty spots were reproduced as picture postcards. Alongside the landscape of the Scottish Highlands, which recurs as a subject frequently in his paintings, he was also preoccupied with the depiction of water, with riverside landscapes also coming to define his oeuvre. The present work is a particularly charming example of his output, with a single angler on the shore the only presence to disturb the peaceful scene, and to break the still, glassy surface of the water. Longstaffe exhibited five times at the Royal Academy in the 1880s, around the time that this painting was completed.
