Dear Dominique,

Thank you for taking the time to submit your inquiry regarding this painting which has been attributed to English artist and engraver, John Linnell (1792 - 1882). It's a lovely painting and my estimate is under the assumption that this painting has not been damaged or restored and is in original condition.

This is a strong painting and just the sort of genre scene that Linnell was best known for. The majority of large scale landscape pieces attributed to Linnell are currently selling at auction in the range of 850 to 1700Euro. However, there are rare exceptions to this rule and one is a painting sold by Christie's in 2015 as being in the "Circle of" John Linnell. This example bears too many similarities to your example for me not to consider it as a comparison; this example, a harvest scene, sold 18 November 2015 for 5705Euro.

If you have any follow-up questions, please ask and thank you for your submission to Mearto.

Sincerely,

Erin-Marie
