A finely painted genre scene of a young woman knitting beside a girl by John William Haynes. The girl holds a large wooden trug in her lap as the young woman knits. A painting entitled ‘Knitting’ was exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1875/6, no. 185 and this could well be one in the same work.
John William Haynes was born at George Street, Euston Square, London on 23 November, 1831 to Henry Haynes and Mary Anne Haynes (née Kent). His father was a carver and gilder who ran a successful business employing 6 men which allowed his children to receive a good education that would have also included art tuition. His older brother Henry also became an artist and were most likely taught together. Haynes initially followed in his father’s footsteps working as a carver for the family firm, however, in his spare he continued to develop his talent for painting.
In 1852, he made his debut at both the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists, continuing to exhibit there over the years with genre paintings. He also exhibited at the British Institution from 1852-1865. Haynes specialised in figure paintings often featuring families in cottage interiors and rural or coastal locations. He signed his work J W Haynes, preferring to use his initials which helps distinguish him from another artist with a similar name.
By the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Checketts at Wolverhampton on 17 September, 1857, he had established himself as a successful figure artist. The couple settled in Wolverhampton where their first child Bessie was born, who also became an artist. By 1861, he had relocated to Stapleford in Cambridgeshire where 4 more children were born. Around 1866, they moved to Leamington Spa where they lived for 5 years and went on to have 11 children in total. Haynes then took the family to live in Sutton in Surrey for a short time before returning to the capital to live in Islington at 45 Roden Street.
Haynes spent the final years of his life living at 10 Newport Terrace, Barnstaple, Devon where he died in 1924 aged 93. Examples of his work can be found at the Preston Park Museum and the York Art Gallery.
Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. The reverse bears an old label for W.H. Patterson, a fine art gallery founded in 1964 by Bill Patterson and based at 19 Albemarle Street, London. The company was bought by the dealership Gladwell & Company in 2004. The details on the label indicate the painting was owned by Patterson’s before 1990.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

- 19th Century seascape oil painting of Penzance harbour, CornwallBy William Edward WebbLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireWilliam Edward Webb British, (1862-1903) Penzance Harbour Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 29 inches x 45.5 inches Size including frame: 38 inches x 54.5 inches A pleasing coastal painting of Penzance Harbour at low tide by William Edward Webb. In the foreground, a fisherman sells his catch to a woman and her daughter, whilst figures in horses and carts wait for others to unload their boats. William Edward Webb was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in 1862 to William Benjamin Webb and Ellen Butler. His father was a printer and an artist and it is highly likely he received tuition from him. Following the death of his mother, his father remarried and moved the family to Manchester sometime after 1871. By the 1880’s, Webb had started working as an artist and later set up a studio at 30 Exchange Buildings in Manchester. He began exhibiting at the Manchester City Art Gallery from 1890, where he showed more than 60 paintings during his lifetime. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy and Walker Art Gallery Liverpool from 1892. He married Clara Foster in 1899 and the couple lived at 1 Sylvan Grove, Chorlton Upon Medlock in South Manchester with their daughter Florrie. He became friends with the artist Walter Emsley (1860-1938) who also lived in Manchester. Although he spent the rest of his life in Manchester, Webb travelled throughout the UK painting coastal and marine scenes around the main ports and harbours. He spent a great deal of time in the Isle of Mann painting numerous scenes along the coast including views of Peel and Douglas Harbour, subjects he frequently returned to. Webb painted in a highly distinctive style; loose and informal but which manages to retain the sense of perspective. He struggled with ill health and depression throughout his life which sadly led to his suicide 9 November, 1903. In 1974, a retrospective exhibition was held at The Old Customs House and Old Solent House in Lymington, which brought a new found interest in his work. His paintings are now highly sought after and are represented in many collections and Museums including the Astley Hall...Category

- Ophelia, Victorian 19th Century Royal Academy Oil PaintingLocated in London, GBOil on canvas, signed lower right Image size: 33 1/2 x 56 1/2 inches (85 x 143 cm) Original gilt frame Provenance With the artist's son, Millie Dow Stott Esq., until 1912. Artist's Studio Sale, Christies, November 1913. Private Collection Exhibitions London, Royal Academy, 1895, no. 679. Paris, Societe de la Nationale des Beaux-Arts, 1896, no. 1179. Berlin, VII Internationale Kunstausstellung 1897. no. 3533. Manchester, City of Manchester Art Gallery, 1912, no. 339. In the 1890s William Stott exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, mainly highly decorative works with subjects derived from classical mythology and literature. This painting was Stott's 1895 entry to the Royal Academy and was subsequently exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1896 and then on to the Berlin, VII Internationale Kunstausstellung 1897. Shakespeare was a favourite source for Victorian painters, and the tragic romance of Ophelia, from Hamlet, was an especially popular subject, featuring regularly in the Royal Academy exhibitions. The most popular and iconic image of Ophelia's death was, and is to this day, John Everett Millais's 1851 painting showing the confused and tragic Ophelia floating downstream on her back in a state of mad ecstasy, arms raised in a gesture of inevitable submission. However, although Stott chose not to pastiche this image, it seems highly likely that he was prompted to take up this subject, which had almost become a 'rite of passage' among Victorian painters, by the fact that in 1894 Millais's Ophelia was presented to the National Gallery of British Art by Sir Henry Tate. It appears that Stott was much influenced by John William Waterhouse...Category
