Experience the serene beauty of the countryside with this enchanting oil painting by renowned Scottish artist Charles Martin Hardie RSA. Signed with his initials and dated 1884, "The Farmers Daughter" captures a tranquil moment in a sunlit meadow. A young woman, dressed in a flowing pink dress, stands thoughtfully beside two milk churns, ready to begin her daily chores.
Hardie's masterful use of light and color brings the scene to life, with dappled sunlight casting gentle shadows across the lush greenery and blooming wildflowers. The composition's idyllic setting, complete with a rustic fence and a backdrop of verdant trees, evokes a sense of peace and simplicity, characteristic of rural life in the late 19th century.
This painting not only showcases Hardie's exceptional skill in capturing natural beauty but also his ability to convey the quiet moments of everyday life with grace and sensitivity. The work's excellent provenance, having been part of the esteemed Richard Green collection in London, further adds to its value and distinction.
In excellent condition and ready to hang, "The Farmers Daughter" is a timeless piece that would make a stunning addition to any collection of fine art. Whether displayed in a private home, a gallery, or a public space, this painting invites viewers to pause and appreciate the serene charm of the countryside.
Born in East Linton, East Lothian, Hardie entered the family business and worked as a carpenter. However, a family connection with the artist, John Pettie, encouraged him to study at the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh. Hardie became known for his pictures of Scottish rural life which often have a strong narrative element. He produced portraits, landscapes and genre scenes as well as historical paintings in both oils and watercolour. His 1899 'Curling at Carsebreck' is held in the permanent collection of the National Galleries Scotland. The picture had been commissioned to mark the Diamond Jubilee of The Royal Caledonian Curling Club. The sixty-one people depicted are all individual portraits of members. Hardie exhibited his first picture at The Royal Scottish Academy in 1877 and the popularity of his work is reflected by the fact that the Academy accepted a remarkable 175 further examples.
Charles Martin Hardie's work is held in the collections of The National Galleries of Scotland, Museums & Galleries Edinburgh, Abbotsford House, Highland Council, Laing Art Gallery, The National Army Museum, The National Trust, The National Trust for Scotland, McLean Museum & Art Gallery, The Royal Scottish Academy, John Muir House, Westminster College (University of Cambridge) and others. Hardie's "The Studio Mirror" a 72 x 59cm oil on canvas was sold by Bonhams, New Bond Street, London on 11th July 2012 (lot 65) for £15,625 (premium).

19th Century genre oil painting of a girl with flowers
By Jane Maria Bowkett
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
Jane Maria Bowkett
British, (1837-1891)
Collecting Flowers
Oil on canvas, signed with monogram
Image size: 23.5 inches x 17.75 inches
Size including frame: 29.25 inches x 23.5 inches
A highly appealing genre painting of a young girl holding flowers by Jane Maria Bowkett. The girl is posed in a wild flower meadow in front of a wooded area and wears a white lace dress with a pink sash. On her head is a yellow straw hat decorated with white feathers and a ribbon. She is shown gripping the brim of her bonnet with one hand whilst holding a posy of flowers in the other. The girl bears a resemblance to the models featured in some of the artist's other paintings and could well have been a family member.
Jane Maria Bowkett was a figure and genre painter born in Poplar, London on 17 September, 1837, the eldest child of Thomas Edward Bowkett and Jane Bowkett (nèe Watkinson). The family lived at East India Road where he father practiced as a surgeon, later becoming a doctor and was involved in the Chartist movement. Three of her sisters, Eliza Martha Bowkett (1839-1867), Jessie Undine Bowkett (1861-1886) and Leila Matilda Bowkett (1853-1924) also became artists.
She attended the Government School of Design (now Royal College of Art) and in 1858 began her exhibiting career at the Society of Female Artist. In 1860, she started exhibiting at the British Institution and a year later made her debut at the Royal Academy and Royal Society of British Artists. As well as exhibiting in London, she also exhibited more widely at the Birmingham Society of Artists, Royal Scottish Academy, Bristol Academy of Art and the Brighton Art Society. Most of her paintings were genre scenes featuring woman and children in a mixture of both interior and landscape settings. Her work also included a number of beach and coastal paintings.
She married the still life and landscape artist Charles Stuart on 7 February, 1862 at All Saints Church in West Ham. Although married, she continued exhibiting under her maiden name. The couple spent the first years of their married life living in Stepney Causeway where they started a family. One of their sons Charles Edward Gordon...
