About the Item

John Stewart was a Scottish painter of rustic subjects and landscapes. HE exhibited 20 works at the Suffolk Street Exhibition location in London and 4 works at the Riyal Academy in London from 1828 to 1865. Most of his paintings were typical Victorian genre scenes. The sort of composition that tells the viewer a story within the painting. This is one such piece. The children are out for a walk and alas the youngest girl seems to have dropped a clay jug, smashing it. I'm sure the artist wants the viewer to feel a little sadness towards the girl but at the same time see the affection the older girl is showing towards her, as is the boy as well....A true Victorian story in a painting ! The piece is framed in a wonderful Antique English frame which might well be the original to the painting. The painting is signed lower right.

19th century Antique English Victorian Summer Harvest landscape, with figures.
By John Mundell
Located in Woodbury, CT
19th century English Antique Victorian Summertime Harvest landscape, with figures. John Mundell was a British painter of landscapes as well as river scenes and coastal views. It is suggested that Mundell was a pseudonym of John James Wilson. Mundell’s work was vigorous, bright, and attractive and compares favorably with the work of many of the better artists of his time. This is a very fine example of the artist's work. It is a rare composition for the artist as he mostly painted marines. This piece is framed in its original antique gold leaf frame
