Fred Dubery

Fred Dubery (British, 1926–2011)

“The Garden”

Oil on board, signed lower right “Fred Dubery”, presented in an attractive contemporary frame.

A delightful and atmospheric garden landscape by renowned British artist Fred Dubery, depicting a peaceful English garden in full bloom beneath an expansive cloud-filled sky. The composition features flowering borders, mature trees and a charming bird sculpture, painted with the artist’s characteristic loose, impressionistic brushwork and subtle handling of light.

The reverse bears the artist’s studio stamp together with an interesting handwritten provenance note stating the painting was purchased directly from Fred Dubery at his home, Foxhall Lodge, Finborough, Stowmarket, Suffolk, and includes the artist’s comment:

“I was trying to paint a sky like Constable.”

This charming inscription provides an appealing personal connection to the artist and references the influence of John Constable’s celebrated Suffolk skies.

A wonderful opportunity to acquire an original work by one of Britain’s respected 20th-century landscape painters.
