A magnificent Welsh 18th century oil on canvas by Richard Wilson. The painting is framed within a striking and richly carved giltwood border with fine foliate designs and intricately caved palmettes in a satin and burnished finish. The wonderfully executed oil on canvas painting depicts a charming landscape of the Italian country side with a village at the top of a hill and a magnificent waterfall.
