Painting of the Week - Thomas Creswick
Drover with Cattle and Dog in a Landscape
This lovely British Old Master landscape oil painting is by noted Birmingham School artist Thomas Creswick. Painted circa 1855 the composition is a horseback Drover taking cattle over a little bridge and stream in a sunny wooded landscape. The path forks and the dog is making sure the cattle go the right way. The detail and colouring are superb, as is the brushwork depicting the flora and fauna. This is a superb British Old Master pastoral landscape and an excellent example of Creswick's work.
