Francis Tysoe Smith (1853-1927)

Artist Name Francis Tysoe Smith (1853-1927)
Title Cornish Flock
Description Francis Tysoe Smith Cornish landscape. Painted by one of my favourite artists I believe this to be the painting mentioned in the Cornish Dictionary of artists which states she exhibited from 1925 from her studio in St Ives.

The painting depicts Cornish scenery: large landscape showing marsh land with water in the foreground and a flock of sheep beyond. It is one of the best of her works and is housed in a very fine frame. The work is signed lower right and dates to 1924. This is a fine example of an early 20th century British impressionist oil painting with good subject.
Provenance Private collection.
Medium Oil on Canvas
Size 24 x 26 inches
Frame Framed in a fine gallery frame of the period. 30 inches by 32 inches.
Condition Excellent gallery condition.
