Item Details

Description

John Smellie (British, 1886-1925)
Ben Ledi and the Teith, Callander
signed and dated 'John Smellie/1921' (lower right), titled 'BEN LEDI AND THE TEITH, CALLANDER.' (verso)
oil on canvas
60.9 x 76.2cm (24 x 30in).
Footnotes:
Exhibited
Possibly, Paisley, The Paisley Art Institute, 1921.

Provenance
Private collection, UK; thence by descent.

Smellie's work rarely appears on the open market, as he died young and was not prolific. This example is a delightful snapshot of an idyllic summer's day in Perthshire in the artist's signature creamy, subtle palette.

Condition

Presents very well indeed overall.

Upon very close inspection; there is one small area of craquelure in the upper right sky area (possibly caused by impact from the rear). Another very small area of shrinkage in the foliage of the tree on the right of the river bank. Tiny amounts of rubbing at extreme edges. Having said this, it is in very good condition for the age.

Overall frame dimensions: 86 x 102 x 8 cm. Not glazed.
