Samuel Under a Tree

photo

This is a reproduction of "Samuel Under a Tree" by Henry Scott Tuke.  The artist was a native of Cornwall who died in 1929 at the age of seventy-one years. This picture was completed in the year of his death. His twin abiding loves were the sea and boys. This caused quite a stir in Victorian and Edwardian England, but he was nonetheless a member of the Royal Academy.  This painting was created either in Jamaica or based on memories from his visit there.
