Attributed to Charles Hunt, British 1829 to 1900. Oil on canvas painting depicting a scene in the village house. Signed lower right. Framed. Charles Hunt was a painter of contemporary genre, often humorous, as well as historical subjects; but he is usually associated with charming interior scenes with mischievous little children. Very occasionally he turned his hand to important pieces, which are ingeniously composed, highly finished and especially natural. His name is synonymous with the highest excellence in animal and figure paintings.
