James Jebusa Shannon was one of the most celebrated portrait painters of the last quarter of the 19th Century and contemporary critics held him in as high esteem as his fellow expatriate Americans James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent. He was born in New York of Irish stock and moved to England in 1878 where he studied at the South Kensington School of Art, now the Royal College of Art, under Sir Edward Poynter where he won a gold medal for figure painting. He made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1881 with a portrait commissioned by Queen Victoria of her Lady-in-Waiting, The Honourable Horatia Stopford (Royal Collection, Osborne House) which helped to establish a glittering career as a society portrait painter. His success gave him the opportunity to build an artist's studio house in Holland Park Road, which was an enclave of some of the most influential artist's of their generation, including Frederic, Lord Leighton, the president of the Royal Academy. Condition Report: Canvas relined and new stretcher providing good support. Fine surface cracking and paint shrinkage but paint layer is stable. Inspection under UV reveals scattered areas of restoration most of which appear to be in background areas and may cover small tears and general areas of paint loss. Condition Report Disclaimer

George himself also exhibited there some 50 drawings between 1827 and 1838, mostly landscapes in watercolour or pencil. In 1821 he was awarded the silver Isis medal of the Society of Arts for a drawing of Stirling Castle. In 1821 and 1824 respectively he published Twenty-Six Lithographic Drawings in the Vicinity of Liverpool and Plas Newydd and Valle Crucis Abbey, as well as a volume entitled Eight Select Views, in the County of Carnaervon, published around 1827 under the patronage of the renowned Ladies of Llangollen, Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby.
