JOHN GEORGE BROWN (AMERICAN 1831-1913) A DAY
JOHN GEORGE BROWN (AMERICAN 1831-1913) A DAY'S SHOOTING signed, inscribed and dated 'Study 1865', oil on canvas (41cm x 31cm (16in x 12in))Note: Born in County Durham, Brown made his name and career in America after moving to New York City in 1853. In 1862 Brown completed one of his most important paintings "Curling - A Scottish game at Central Park" (MFA Houston), and whilst working on the commission met William Brand who was to become an important patron. It was Brand who commissioned "Claiming the Shot: After the Hunt in the Adirondacks" (Detroit Institute of Arts) and can be seen standing centrally in the composition. To the far left of the group stands the young boy from our study, holding his quarry. Brown painted a study of William Brand (private collection, USA) and it has been argued that the sitter in our painting could be one of Brand's sons.
