About the Artist:
George Morland (1763-1804) was an English painter and printmaker renowned for his idyllic representations of country life, pastoral scenes, and animals, which captured the imagination of the late 18th-century British public. A child prodigy tutored by his father, artist Henry Robert Morland, George developed his unique style early on. His subjects often included the daily lives of peasants and smugglers, which he portrayed with a sympathetic realism that was somewhat novel for his time.
Morland's work is noted for its vibrant use of color, skilled brushwork, and ability to convey texture, lending his paintings a lively, almost tactile quality. His compositions are dynamic yet intimate, often featuring rustic settings that evoke a sense of nostalgia and tranquility. Despite his artistic success, Morland led a tumultuous life, marked by financial instability and struggles with alcoholism.
Today, Morland's paintings and prints are considered significant contributions to British art, capturing the socio-cultural atmosphere of his era. His works are collected internationally and featured in prestigious institutions, offering a window into the pastoral and genre scenes of the late Georgian period. His prints, such as "The Fern Gatherers," reflect the enduring appeal of his artistry and continue to be sought after by collectors worldwide.

- 'In the Window' by Pauline Palmer - 1928 Young Girl Figurative Oil PaintingBy Pauline PalmerLocated in Carmel, CAPauline Palmer 1867–1938 Still, arguably the best-known Chicago woman artist of her time, Pauline Lennards (or Lennard) Palmer was born in McHenry, Illinois, attended school in Milwaukee and taught art in Chicago public schools. Her marriage in 1891 to prosperous Chicago physician Albert Palmer enabled her to have a full-time career as an artist. Palmer studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and began exhibiting there in 1896; she completed her formal training with three years of study in art academies in Paris. On her return to Chicago in 1902, Palmer opened a portrait studio and she quickly established herself as a fixture in the city’s art world. She exhibited regularly in the Art Institute’s three annual exhibitions and in important national and international exhibitions, notably the prestigious Paris Salon. At the Art Institute, she won numerous prizes. Her first solo exhibition was held there in 1913 at the same time as the famous so-called Armory Show of modernist art. In 1917, Palmer joined the influential artists’ community in the Tree Studios building on Chicago’s Near North Side. A leader among local artists, she was the first woman to serve as president of the Chicago Society of Artists, between 1918 and 1921, and she led the Association of Chicago Painters and Sculptors from 1929 to 1931. Palmer and her husband traveled widely, making several visits to Europe. In 1910 she worked in Giverny, France, an international center of impressionist practice where she absorbed the influence of American figural painter Richard Emil Miller...Category
