'A Rocky River' by listed British artist, Sebastopol Samuel Holland (flourished 1877 - 1911). It depicts a springtime scene with a winding river as it cuts through a rough and rocky terrain. A wooded landscape under a stormy sky lies in the background. This large, lovely quality work has been painted with rapid brush strokes and full of movement and is most attractive. It is a very fine original oil on canvas, signed lower right and displayed in a wide giltwood frame. Sight: 36"W x 24"H

Art has long been regarded as a strong and safe investment. Ellen Kelleher, a personal finance reporter for The Financial Times recently wrote an article recommending art, particularly in the $500 - $50,000 range as a sound long term investment with an impressive current average annual increase of 9.7 percent.
