Caterina Maffeis

I am offering for auction a charming and delightful 19th century oil on board of a shorthorn cow called Sweetbriar. Painted by artist R Townley and dated 1891 bottom left. Paintings like this example are highly desirably and fetch a premium price.

The painting measures 43 x 28.5 cm. The frame measures 60 x 45 cm.

Condition of the painting is fairly good. Please view all photos for accurate condition. Ready to hang.

Please note. Due to the fragile nature of old frames and glass, our shippers do not provide insurance for any damage caused during transit. We go to great lengths to ensure each painting is packed and protected to a very high standard but sadly cannot compensate or refund for any damage occurring to frames or glass during transit. Therefore the frame and any glass is a gift to you with zero value and you are bidding on the artwork only.

Due to Brexit, there are delays at EU customs borders though the situation is improving. Please do not blame me for delays or any customs duty payable. I really appreciate your understanding and patience. Steve.
