James Everett Stuart (1852-1941) was a Maine-born California landscape painter, the grandson of famous portraitist Gilbert Stuart. According to Hughes, "By the turn of the century he was a nationally famous painter and was highly successful at merchandising his own work. He had the unique habit of listing on the back of his canvases the price, number, date, and geographical location. He painted over 5,000 paintings, mostly landscapes; however, he was an excellent portraitist and also did a series of mission paintings." Edan Hughes p. 449.
