‘Pastoral Views with Figures’
Signed M. Jeffries
A charming pair of miniature oil paintings depicting peaceful countryside scenes, each animated by small figures set within gently rolling rural landscapes. One composition shows figures gathered beside a thatched cottage beneath mature trees, while the other presents an open riverside view with distant church spire and figures pausing along a rustic path. Both works are painted in a soft, naturalistic palette, with delicate brushwork capturing the light, atmosphere, and quiet beauty of the pastoral setting.
Medium & Support: Oil on board.
Frame: Matching ornate gilt frames with foliate decoration; minor wear consistent with age, presenting attractively as a pair.
Condition: Very good decorative condition; both paintings well preserved with light age-related wear.
Signature: Both signed M. Jeffries.
Dimensions:
Framed: approx. 24 × 29cm each
Visible painting: approx. 12 × 17cm each
Notes: A highly decorative and cohesive pair of miniature landscapes, ideal for traditional interiors and particularly effective displayed together as part of a gallery wall or intimate country house setting.
