Artist: Benjamin Blake
The Hunter's Larder by Benjamin Blake.
A larder scene with a good day's bag shown on a shelf in a pantry.
Painted in oil on canvas and within a period, perhaps original, gilt gesso frame.
English circa 1820.
Originally from Wiltshire, Blake (fl1790-1830) worked for most of his life in London, producing small, gem-like larder and game scenes. This piece is typical of his work which owes much to seventeenth-century Dutch prototypes. It is interesting to learn that Blake was sometimes employed by dealers to copy old Dutch pictures, some of which were not sold under his own name.
