This is a beautiful oil on canvas painting of Venice, lively and rich in color. Framed, it measures 43 1/2" wide, 35 1/4" high with a 4" vintage molded frame. The artist signature appears to be Geoffrey Straman. The provenance which came with the painting established previous ownership by the Tyrwhitt-Drake family, owners of Cobtree Estate in Kent, England. Sir Garrard Tyrwhitt Drake (1881-1964) is a lineage descendant of Sir Francis Drake and was twelve times the Mayor Of Maidstone. The appearance of the painting indicates a probable late 19th c. age, and plausible assumptions could be made that the painting was sold from the Cobtree Estate. It would be nice if more factual detail were known, but the painting can easily be appreciated on its own merit of subject matter, age and condition and beautiful ochre tones true to the breath-taking architecture of Venice
