A Fine Oil Painting by James Mallard Bromley, Signed "Woodlands with Children Gathering Firewood'

19th century
Description

A charming oil painting by James Mallard Bromley (British artist born 1858), Signed 'John Bromley'. The painting is also signed on the reverse of the canvas. It depicts a mother and two children gathering firewood in woodland.

Bromley studied under his father, the artist William Bromley (1816-1890), whose own grandfather, also William Bromley (1769-1842), had been a successful engraver, whilst two of Bromley's siblings, Valentine Walter Bromley (1848-1877) and William John Bromley (1858-1939), also went on to become artists. Bromley moved to St Ives in 1897, and is best known for his paintings depicting life in the local fishing towns. He exhibited widely, including sixteen works at the Royal Academy, ninety-two works at the Society of British Artists, ten at the Royal Institute, previously the 'New Watercolour Society', and two at the Grosvenor Gallery. The painting measures 31cm x 26cm and is in very good condition.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Victorian genre landscapes typically combine naturalistic outdoor scenery with everyday human activity, often portraying rural narrative scenes such as agricultural work or woodland foraging.

Oil pigments ground in linseed oil were applied to stretched linen canvas or wooden panels, typically framed in timber moulding decorated with carved gesso and gold leaf gilding.

Authentic works show natural craquelure across the paint surface, surface oxidisation on the canvas back or strainer timber, period-appropriate stretcher construction, and authentic signature details.

Position the artwork as a focal point above a mantelpiece or sideboard, pairing the intricate gilt frame with modern furniture or clean architectural lines to create balanced visual contrast.

Display the painting away from direct sunlight, humidity fluctuations, and heat sources. Dust lightly using a soft dry feather duster, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths on the paint surface and gilding.
