Born in London in 1863 James Brown was firstly a musician and later a painter.

He had close friendship with Lucien Pissaro  and on many occasions the two went painting together. Pissaro’s help and encouragement, coupled with the stimulus of meeting J.B.Manson, Ludovic Rodo Pissaro and Maurice Asselin, Brown became fired with an immense enthusiasm for painting. He endeavoured to understand the principles of impressionism and developed his own interpretation of it.

Brown exhibited his work once at the Upper Grosvenor gallery and this painting is catalogue no . 21
