About the Art: Very good condition; original frame (in
need of restoration).
About the Artist: A well-known watercolour artist in his day,
Henry John Kinnaird was a landscape
artist
who painted rural scenes in the
manner of
artist John Hooper, Kinnaird
exhibited in
London from 1880, mainly at The
Royal Academy
and The Royal Society of British
Artists,
and he lived for a time in the
fashionable
Camden Town area, before the
urban spread
brought poverty to a region which
had once
been known for its gracious houses
and quiet
country lanes. He later moved
to Ringmer,
near Lewes, Sussex.
Although he painted many River
scenes, Kinnaird
was most at home painting studies
of the
rural way of life that was already
beginning
to change. Many of his works
were of harvesting
scenes painted around the Sussex
and Surrey
areas.
