Antique Oil on Canvas, Loading the Wagon at the Stables in Winter, Circa 1890

As noted by the light dusting of snow on the unpaved street, this charming oil on canvas painting depicts a winter scene. The painting, which dates to circa 1890, features two stable hands loading goods into a wagon being pulled by a team of four horses (three black and one brown). Both workers are clad in heavy, brown jackets as they load brown sacks into a tall gray cart. A black dog sits in front of the horses, next to a light brown door at the foot of some stairs. Two more individuals can be seen on a landing of the cream-colored building that is lined with wooden shuttered windows. The earthy tones of the painting are matched by a brown frame with cavetto molding. A slender gilded molding surrounds the canvas, adding a bit of vibrancy to the neutral colors depicted on the canvas. Our oil on canvas painting of a wagon at the stables can be hung in any room of the house, from a hallway to a living room.

CONDITION: Very good antique condition, with slight rubs to canvas and light wear to frame. The painting is rigged for hanging purposes.
