Description

A beautifully composed rustic landscape, this painting captures a quiet moment of daily life in a traditional farmyard setting. At its heart, a woman bends over a wooden trough, absorbed in her task—perhaps washing or preparing food—dressed in a long dark gown and apron that evoke 19th-century rural attire. Surrounding her, white ducks or geese meander across a stone-paved courtyard, adding gentle movement and pastoral charm. The backdrop features weathered stone buildings and a large white cylindrical structure, possibly a water tank or outdoor oven, lending architectural interest and context. Scattered objects—a bucket, a cabbage—enrich the scene with lived-in detail. Framed in an ornate gilt frame with floral embellishments, the painting is signed by Ralph Dorrance in the lower corner.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
