Oil on canvas. H28. 2cm, L38. 7cm

Flemish ? Old oil painting on board – label to back Flemish? painting which has been painted on canvas and then laid to fiberboard(very unprofessional job - now removed from this board because starting deformation) at some stage and shows figures near a dwelling and church spire in the distance. There is no sign of any signature that I can see. The painting is housed in a frame which is not original to it, but still has some age. Back of the painting has a Dutch label for BOEKBINDERIJ INLIJSTINGEN – H. NEEVEN PERSOONSTRAAT, No. 8. So by the looks of it, the painting was re-framed many years ago. It looks to be a very old painting, possibly early 1800’s or before which has been originally removed from a stretcher and then stuck to a board. Nicely painted. Condition: The painting is dirty . Some little areas of the canvas have bubbled up or raised up and formed some paint cracking / losses. Looks like there are a few little holes too and a little tear on the roof of the house, however it has been steadied by it being mounted to board. It is a nice original antique oil painting, just needs a clean and possibly a more suitable frame. Current frame has a lot of chipping and losses, scoring and is grubby / dusty from age, painting may benefit from being reframed. Measures approx. 17 ¾” wide by 14” high and 14 ¾” by 10 ½” visible painting size.
