'The Only Way' by John William Buxton Knight (1843-1908). Oil on canvas. Signed lower right.
The work depicts a horse and cart travelling down a wet road at dusk with a barking dog chasing it, with workers in the fields and trees and hedges surrounding. The figures are expertly depicted with a few small confident strokes and Buxton Knight's use of colour to portray the sunset and reflections is superb.
Numerous labels verso. A small typed label to the top reads, 'The Only Way J Buxton Knight'. Hand written inscription to the same label reads, '1906 WJ bought this from Mr James Stephenson c.1915).
The work is housed in a giltwood frame made by the National Portrait Gallery framer JJ Patrickson of Chelsea, London (1909-1958). The frame has some knocks and losses commensurate with age but generally displays well.
