Fine Art Tuesday

Not your typical English flower. Biographical details are lacking but he may have traveled to Italy or Spain as many British artists did

John Dawson Watson was a British painter born in 1832 and died in 1892 of a respiratory infection.

His "business model" was to produce very large numbers of small paintings that he could produce quickly. The large number provided a fairly even stream of income. The downside is that the format does not scale up well; the enlarged images either lack detail or the positions of the human bodies seem "off".
