A 134-year-old painting of an area of Snowdonia has been unearthed in Australia – yet the location it depicts remains a mystery.

The painting belongs to Australian Keith Quick, who believes it to be somewhere in the Snowdonia National Park.

Mr Quick, who plans to make a family trip to North Wales early next year, has speculated as to where it may depict.

“It was painted in 1888 by Philip Osment, whom I know to have been living in the Conwy Valley near Llanwrst around this time, and later at Llanrhos,” said Keith.

“From the direction of the light, I assume it is looking southwards, and the body of water to the left may be Lynn Ogwen or Lynn Peris, but that is just my guess.

“I have searched on the internet, but failed to find a view that matches.”

Philip Osment was a seascape painter born in Exeter, but who lived in Liverpool and the surrounding areas and exhibited locally.

Many of his works were with watercolours, and he died in 1947.

Mr Quick added that he wished to visit the location in the painting, saying: “It would be really interesting to see the actual location where this was painted - an added attraction is that neither of my daughters has ever seen snow!”
