This beautiful early 20th century Antique artwork is a special piece.
Oil on board, the Artist attribution is to V. Mathias, of Welsh origins. The frame is a gorgeous, heavy carved wood with antique gold finish. Signed lower right by artist.
Part of a known body of work by V. Mathias, a Welsh artist and World War I veteran who painted prolifically in the postwar years. This piece carries his characteristic tone of solitude and quietude. Signed on the front, the brushwork, colour palette, and compositional language are consistent with Mathias's known works. The frame, a hand-carved floral surround with beautiful aged patina, complements the piece perfectly and brings a sense of depth and presence.
