A Fine Late C18th Oil on thick Wood Panel depicting an Italianate Landscape with Figures by a Lake, attributed to the C18th British Artist John Rathbone (1750-1807). This delightful antique painting measures 12 inches x 8.5 inches & is beautifully framed in its original ornate Gilt Wood & Gesso Georgian frame with overall measurements being 17.5 inches x 14 inches. The painting appears to be unsigned but is inscribed verso "J Rathbone" & also faintly on the reverse of the frame. The painting is in reasonable condition with no losses but would benefit from a professional clean.
