Claude Horsfall Oil Painting Clapham Yorkshire Dales Signed Original Landscape

An attractive original oil painting by Claude Horsfall, depicting Clapham in the Yorkshire Dales.

The scene shows the river running through the village beneath a stone bridge, with traditional stone buildings, mature trees and rolling Yorkshire countryside beyond. The autumnal palette, reflective water and textured brushwork give the painting strong decorative appeal while retaining clear regional interest.

The work is signed Claude Horsfall to the lower right.

The reverse retains a handwritten label identifying both the subject and artist:

Clapham

The painting also retains its Hartleys Auctioneers, Ilkley lot tag, where it was catalogued as “Clapham Painting by Claude Horsfall”, Lot 738.
