Antique circa 1800 or thereabouts superb Naive style oil on board painting featuring a scene of that of a Dog pulling a drowned girl child from a lake on the garden grounds of a traditional Georgian stately home, the girl appears to have been picking flowers for her rush basket that now lays half submerged in the water with flowers afloat and drifting beside her body as she stares emptily on, the dog with its maw clamed around her dress pulling the girls body back to dry land. the scene is captured at dusk, adding to the theme and allowing the artist to use a more subdued palette.
