James Hardy Jr.
James Hardy Jnr was a popular Victorian artist who lived in Bristol. He jumped aboard the Balmoral bandwagon driven by Landseer, to produce many Scottish sporting scenes in which live animals, tended by ghillies, predominating over the dead bag. Both figures and landscape settings were painted well enough and bore such titles as On the Moors or Tying up the Game. He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1862 and 1886, as well as at the British Institution, Suffolk Street and the New Watercolour Society. The artist became an associate of the New Watercolour Society in 1874 and was made a full member in 1877. Hardy’s subjects were landscapes with rustic figures, hunting scenes, still lifes and genre scenes or interiors. He is also known to have painted dogs with game. Sales of his works were held at Christies on 9 March 1878 and also after his death on 4th April 1889.
