B.S. Hays Genre Painting with Children
Barton Stone "B.S." Hays (American, 1826-1914). Oil on canvas genre painting depicting an interior scene with children and a nursemaid.
Although Hays initially gained popularity for his portraiture - such as his painting of then-governor of Indiana, William Henry Harrison - his focus shifted to still life paintings after his move to Minneapolis and it was these realistic paintings that were his most popular. He also created panorama paintings such as his painting depicting scenes from Harriet Beecher Stowe's iconic novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
