A charming antique oil painting by Arthur Severn (1841–1931), depicting a picturesque pastoral landscape near Bittaford, Devon, England.

The painting features a herd of cattle gathered at a tranquil stream, surrounded by lush woodland, rolling hills and a distant country cottage. The artist captures the peaceful atmosphere of the English countryside with naturalistic detail, rich earthy colours and a beautifully balanced composition.

The landscape is signed with the artist’s monogram in the lower-left corner and is titled and signed on the reverse. The reverse also retains an old gallery label from Prestwich Fine Art, together with handwritten notes identifying the subject as a pastoral landscape near Bittaford, Devon, and attributing the work to Arthur Severn. These historical labels add further interest and provenance to the painting.

Presented in an ornate gilt frame with decorative relief detailing, this attractive Victorian landscape would make a wonderful addition to a traditional interior, an antique art collection or a country house-inspired space.
