Description from the seller
Here we have an extremely wonderful oil on canvas by listed artist Frederick William Whitehead 1853-1938.

The artist has captured the reflections of the bridge perfectly on the water surrounded by the dried out grasses of an English landscape. The painting is signed lower right. A beautiful lively antique piece which would grace any wall in your home.
