This is an original automotive interest painting in oil on stretched canvas by the artist P Featherstone, signed and dated 1989 to the upper right corner. The work depicts a classic red MG Midget Mark III in a three-quarter frontal view. The artist has employed a realistic illustrative style, with smooth brushwork capturing the glossy reflections on the bodywork and the chrome detailing of the bumpers, headlights, and grille. The vehicle features the registration plate KYG 212K, which corresponds to a 1971 MG Midget first registered in August of that year with a 1275cc engine. The octagonal MG badge is clearly visible on the front grille. The subject is set against an atmospheric, dark grey background composed of broad, gestural strokes. The painting is housed in an off-white stepped wooden frame with a narrow gilded inner slip.
Frame width: approx. 53.5 cm (21 inches)
