Original Antique Two Farmers Praying Pencil Sketch Signed Wenchiaruttz
AN ORIGINAL PENCIL SKETCH SIGNED WENCHIARUTTZ (I MIGHT BE WRONG ON THE LAST 4 OR POSSIBLE 5 LETTERS). I COULD NOT FIND OUT ANYTHING ABOUT THE ARTIST. SO I CONCENTRATED ON THE SUBJECT MATTER AND MATERIAL USED. IT IS A SKETCH OF TWO FARMER A MAN AND WOMEN KNEELING (APPARENTLY PRAYING FOR RAIN) WITH SHOVELS IN A BARREN FIELD WITH TREE STUMPS IN BACKGROUND. SKETCH WAS MADE IN PENCIL ON OLD THICK YELLOWISH PAPER. I WOULD ESTIMATE A DATE CIRCA LATE 1800S TO EARLY 1900S.
This sketch of two farmers in a field praying is reminiscent of another famous oil painting by French painter Jean-François Millet made between 1857 and 1859 which also depicts two peasants in a potato field while reciting a prayer. The man and women in this sketch appears European in descent but the land is arid which might possibly indicate an American or even African landscape. The detail in their faces appear striking which might indicate the sketch is not merely symbolic but a realistic representation. They kneel with two large Pointed Digging Shovels in hand. SIGNED: PENCIL SKETCH SIGNED WENCHIARUTTZ (I MIGHT BE WRONG ON THE LAST 4 OR POSSIBLE 5 LETTERS). I COULD NOT FIND OUT ANYTHING ABOUT THE ARTIST.
SIZE: FRAME: 53CM WIDE 39CM HIGH SKETCH: 33CM WIDE 30CM HIGH CONDITION: WOODEN FRAME IS OLD. HAS GLASS IN FRONT. HANGING CORD AT BACK.
NOTE I CANNOT GUARANTEE GLASS ARRIVE UNBROKEN VIA COURIER. BUT SKETCH SHOULD BE IN TACT.
