Fred Yates, Cornish Village Scene

Fred Yates, English Artist (1922 - 2008) Cornish Village Scene

 

Oil on board, signed lower right: YATES

​

This is a large impressive example of an early work by Yates probably painted in the 1970's after his move to Cornwall. 

​

Painted in his usual impressionistic style using a broad extensive palette of subtle colours which is particularly beautiful in the woodland behind the stone cottage.  Works of this quality are increasingly rare.

 

Frame with a few nibbles, would benefit from re-gilding.
