John Atkinson, active 1770-1775 from Yale Center for British Art
I wish this artist has done more work. I look at this painting and my eyes just don’t know where to stop, there are so many things of which to make note. Isn’t this a kitchen we all wish we had tucked away behind our real house. I was caught by his tied shoes and his breeches being tied at the knee, also his lack of neck-wear. Is that a greatcoat that he wore to work this morning hanging on the wall behind him? I like the elevated cook surface that we can see in the background by the large open hearth. And don’t forget the kitchen cat!
