Provenance: W.H. Patterson, Albemarle Street, London
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.

Village Scene
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Fine 19th century oil painting of a bustling Austrian/Germanic village with horse, rider and various figures outside an Inn, attributed to Arthur Georg Ramberg (1819-1879), well known for figurative genre paintings. The rider is carrying a bugle, apparently announcing news to the people; men are sitting by the table drinking, one with a raised stein. Women walking by stop to listen, a man carrying a sack has stopped to watch the rider, people are in the Inn doorway, and one is looking out the window. Children pause their playing. The scene is under a large tree beside the Inn; a whole community waiting for news.
There is a great deal of detail in the scene, tree and Inn house...
