Est: $5,000 - $7,000
JAMES JOHN HILL (UK, 1811-1882) "The Gleaner", a variation on one of Hill's more populist themes, the gleaners being the poor laborers of the fields who are permitted to gather loose bits of grain from the rows after the crop has been harvested. Very topical at the time, during the Romantic era. Depicts a woman in a threadbare heavy coat with loose sun bonnet, her hands crossed on a small sheaf of wheat with a single poppy on top, perhaps representing her lost husband. Oil on canvas, unsigned, in the original dull gold molded gesso frame, OS: 43" x 35", SS: 35 1/2" x 27 1/2", cleaned and revarnished, fine craquelure.
