| A perfect mid-1800s, Chesapeake Bay lunch: arsters and beer. |
Andrew John Henry Way was born in Washington D.C. in 1826 and died in Baltimore, Maryland in 1888.
One of his patrons was William Thompson Walters, a wealthy banking, rail and steel magnet (I could not resist the pun). Walters was also a grape-grower and a collector of European-style, fine art. That is, pictures that was not solely focused on portraits, i.e. vanity; images that had "artistic" interest.
Consequently, many of A.J.H. Way's pictures are still-lifes with grapes in them.
He certainly had flair. The only thing we own that is anything like those is a lovely little painting of a lemon being inspected by a snail. It sounds bonkers but it works a treat.

Nice coffee posting, sir. Seems the Patron of the Artist had some say in the subjects of his art.
