A stunning large and very fine signed oil painting by the rare english genre painter. John Monteith who exhibited from 1885 until 1903. He likely died an early death as his paintings are uncommon and his exhibition history ended abruptly in 1903.

John Monteith was an english genre painter who was active and exhibiting between 1885 and 1903. It is believed he was born in Scotland but painted in England and exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and the Royal Society of British Artists. Little else is known about his life and its likely he died around 1903 as all exhibition history of the painter ends there. His work is rare. We only know of one other painting of his sold at Christies on March14th 2006 similar in size also.
