About the Item

This delightful painting by the renowned Victorian genre and landscape artist Henry John Yeend King captures the serene charm of the English countryside. Depicting an idyllic riverside scene, the composition features elegantly dressed figures enjoying a peaceful day on the water. A group sits leisurely in small sailboats, with one figure shielding herself from the sun with a parasol. In the background, a picturesque wooden bridge spans the tranquil waterway, while vibrant flowers bloom in abundance on the far bank. The foreground showcases delicate yellow water lilies floating on the calm surface, enhancing the harmonious atmosphere. This beautifully preserved piece is complemented by its original ornate frame, which enhances its timeless appeal. About the Artist Henry John Yeend King was an influential Victorian artist celebrated for his rustic genre scenes and bucolic landscapes. Trained in London and Paris under notable artists such as Léon Bonnat and Fernand Cormon, Yeend King combined the meticulous modeling of figures with the plein air techniques popularized by French Realists and Impressionists. Although he lived in London, his inspiration often came from the countryside, where he portrayed tranquil rural life with a focus on women at work or rest in picturesque settings. A frequent exhibitor at prestigious venues, including the Royal Academy and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolor (where he served as vice-president), Yeend King's works have earned places in major collections, such as the Tate Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. This painting embodies Yeend King's ability to evoke the gentle beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of life in the countryside—a testament to his enduring legacy as a master of Victorian pastoral art. oil on canvas signed unframed: 38 x 51 cm (15 x 20 1/8 in) framed: 56 x 69 cm (22 x 27 1/8 in) Provenance: A Swedish private collection.
