John Atkinson Grimshaw - Slyboots

1876

oil on board

A portrait (the only one I have personally come across of his works) of his daughter Enid, aged 11. She later became a successful contalto singer. Most striking to my mind.

A large number of his paintings

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Smetham

Smetham worked in a number of genres: landscapes, portraits, and literary and religious themes. He began his studies at the Royal Academy in 1843, but mental illness that fully manifested itself in the mid-1870s plagued his later career, and after 1869 he no longer exhibited at the Royal Academy.
