1957 Homage Oil by H. Hutchings -“Curiosity” from the Pears Annual Xmas 1892

Your story, your style.

A gorgeous and highly decorative 1957 oil on canvas by H. Hutchings, painted as a homage after Curiosity, an image associated with the Pears Annual, Christmas 1892.

This is a particularly impressive large-scale piece, measuring approximately 61.5 x 112 cm, with a charming vintage character and strong visual presence.

The painting is unframed, allowing the new owner the freedom to choose a frame to suit their interior. The canvas is mounted on its stretcher/frame and can also be displayed as it is, depending on your preferred style.

A wonderful statement piece for collectors of vintage British art, traditional interiors, antique-inspired décor and historical artwork. Its large horizontal format makes it especially striking when displayed above a sofa, sideboard, fireplace or in a study.
