Charles William Middleton

Description

An attractive original British landscape painting by Charles William Middleton (1878–1952), depicting cattle watering in a tranquil countryside setting.

Several cattle stand in the shallow water, their reflections beautifully captured beneath mature trees and a softly illuminated sky. The rich green, ochre and earthy palette, together with the detailed pastoral composition, creates a wonderfully peaceful rural atmosphere.

Painted in oil on board and signed “C W MIDDLETON” to the lower left. The painting is presented in a substantial period-style gilt wooden frame and is ready to display.

A charming example of traditional British animal and landscape painting, ideal for a country house interior, traditional home, farmhouse setting or collection of British art.
