Huge Price For Painting By Charles Daniel Ward (1872-1935)

Wimbledon Auction's hosted its latest 'Arts and Antiques' auction on the 24/04/23. Lot 74 in this sale was 'A LARGE OIL ON CANVAS PAINTING OF A FIELD LANDSCAPE WITH FLOWERS' by British artist Charles Daniel Ward (1872-1935). Estimated at just £400-600, after a fierce online battle involving several bidders the painting soared past its pre-sale estimate to take a whopping £7,500 plus buyers premium. Selling to a buyer on www.thesaleroom.com, this is a fantastic result for a work by the artist.

He resided in Chelsea and Blewbury, Oxfordshire, where he painted portraits, landscapes, allegory scenes and still life compositions in oil.

This large oil on canvas painting depicted blossoming flowers in a field, with a small house in the background. The bright and colourful landscape truly resonated the Spring season, that is now upon us here in Wimbledon.
