JOSEPH MAIDEN
England, 1813-1843
Horse and foal. Signed and dated lower right "J. Maiden 1838".
Watercolor, 7.5" x 10" sight. Framed 18" x 20".
Notes:
Joseph Maiden was born in Bury, Lancashire, the son of a coachman and publican. It is believed he was also related to the huntsman of the Cheshire Hunt, circa 1843. Maiden, who worked in both oil and watercolor, probably studied under artist Henry Calvert of Manchester. Maiden made a name for himself, despite a relatively short life, painting sporting scenes and landscapes.
