Truly lovely 19th C. European School Drawing on Paper in its original gallery presentation.

Gorgeous detail and soft color-way in the drawing, of a tranquil English or European river / landscape scene with a single walking figure.

And the frame / mat combination is equally well-executed - likely original to the piece, hand lined with ink and gold leaf detailing, in a dark wood / gilt molding that will elevate any space and the pieces around it.

13.5" wide by 11.5" tall by 1.5" deep.

Artist signed in lower left.

Perfect patina on the gilt surfaces, light aging to the entire piece - which makes it magnificent!

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

All right - admit it with us - this beautiful world is filled with worthy art. There are very good drawings and paintings all around us, and thank goodness.

Well, when we saw this one, we stopped in our tracks. It's special - in its simplicity, elegance, soft, gentle colors, detail and wonderful framing.

A feeling of calm came over me about 30 seconds after we first met this one...literally "awwww...that's nice." Nothing more to say. If you know that feeling, you know.

This is one you will never be sorry you brought home, and would be proud to pass on to those you love down the line.
