Farthingdale? oil artist?

I have a oil painting on canvas by an artist which I think is by somebody farthingdale (I think), signature partly hidden by the frame. Subject is a horse in stables with pigeons about. Nice frame, and the painting is clearly old, any ideas?Farthingdale? oil artist?
No, no... That's actually the name of the painting... or it is close. The actual title is 'Farting in the dale' and is a composition of pigeons flying away out of fear after the horse in the stables lets one rip. Hope this helps.Farthingdale? oil artist?
I have had a search to no avail, if you believe the painting to be genuinely old and of a standard of quality then try taking the painting to an art dealer or auctionhouse that specialises in art and they can assess the painting by merit of its age and quality. If you are lucky there maybe someone there who may be able to help! But old paintings by unknown amateurs as I have seen on the antiques roadshow, if of quality can have some value!





Hope this helps?


All the best
