Bought at auction, this is a beautiful antique atmospheric oil on a thick wood panel which is so unusual and framed in a lovely gilt frame (which is newer) I love how the artist has captured the movement of the horses grazing in a slightly expressionist, relaxed way. It also has a lovely soft sheen to it with just one scratch towards the bottom. The lovely muted colours are every gentle too. Beautiful tones and movement in this glorious oil painting. It is not signed at the front but has the name of the artist detailed on the reverse.
Attributed to Arthur Spooner (1873–1962) was a British painter from Nottingham, England.
Spooner was born in Nottingham and trained at the Nottingham School of Art (now part of Nottingham Trent University) in the late 19th century. He later taught landscape and figurative painting there in the early 20th century.[3]
Arthur Spooner was a member of the Nottingham Society of Artists.[4] He painted The Goose Fair, Nottingham in 1926. The painting was sold at Christie's in 2004 and is displayed in Nottingham Castle. (wikipedia)
