"HEDON SQUIRE" (1901) BY FRANK BABBAGE (BRITISH, 1858-1916)
In oil on canvas, signed lower left "F. Babbage 1901"
Item # 909YKV22O
An interesting Equestrian stable scene by British painter and illustrator Frank Babbage, the work is titled via a wall plaque situated on the wall of the interior. He is a proud and attractive animal and is captured with a certain primitive folk appeal in the styling both of the animal and the stable interior. The condition is noteworthy with only the most minor craquelure, original lining and vibrant clean surface free of repairs. It has clearly been cherished and well cared for.
