19th century Moonlight Street Scene Oil Painting on Canvas

Description: This is a positively charming antique work in oil on canvas, indistinctly signed and dated 1860-70'. The scene depicts a pastoral street scene that appears to be a street near the parliament or early Liverpool in England in warm twilight. Every aspect of the scene speaks of peacefulness and tranquil country life despite less than prosperous conditions.
