Item Details

A pair of early 19th century larder scenes painted in oil on canvas by Benjamin Blake.


The first with game birds and a hare; the pendant waterfowl and a harvest of the sea. Within period, perhaps original, gilt gesso frames.


o.s:12.75 in x 10.75 in the works:9 3/8 in x 7 3/8 in


Originally from Wiltshire, Blake (fl1790-1830) worked for most of his life in London, producing small, gem-like larder and game scenes.


This small work is typical of Blake’s work which owes much to seventeenth-century Dutch prototypes. It is interesting to learn that Blake was employed by dealers to copy old Dutch pictures, some of which were not sold under his own name.
