Antique Cow and Sheep Landscape Oil Painting, In the manner of Philip de Loutherbourg
Couldn't load pickup availability
A red-brown cow stands over a resting sheep, with a lamb and a second sheep settled beside them in the shade of a craggy outcrop and a hazy river plain behind. It sits in the English pastoral tradition of the later 18th century and is offered in the manner of Philip de Loutherbourg, which means it resembles his work and claims nothing more. The rock has a profile that looks a bit like a face, and most people notice it about a minute in.
The canvas has been relined, which has stabilized it against further age-related movement. Relining typically removes the original reverse along with any labels or stamps, so the assessment of age here rests on construction and style rather than on reverse markings.
The surface is darkened overall, with craquelure throughout that is most visible in the shadowed rock. No paint loss was observed. The varnish history is not known, and no claim is made about whether the surface has been cleaned or revarnished.
The frame shows wear to the gilding along the edges and corners, with some exposed ground. Two old hangers are attached to the back. Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
