Artist Sir John Everett Millais won his first silver medal from the Society of Arts when he was 9 years old. Two years later, he was accepted as the youngest artist ever at Royal Academy Schools. Sir John Everett Millais' paintings are known for their bright colors and the detailed emotion he conveyed through his portraiture.

He was an avid outdoorsman and painted a series of landscapes in Perthshire, Scotland, where he often hunted and fished. In his twenties, Sir John Everett Millais' artwork included illustrations for books and magazines. It wasn’t until a decade later that he began undertaking portraits of young women and prominent public figures. Artist Sir John Everett Millais was made a baronet at age 56.

                Sir John Everett Millais England, (1829-1896) Crossing the Brook oil on canvas As a child, Millais displayed a precocious artistic talent, and he became the youngest artist ever admitted to the Royal Academy Schools where he was known to his fellow students as ‘the Child.' He became a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and he was internationally renowned during his lifetime. His career culminated in his election as President of the Royal Academy in 1896. This is a charming picture painted of a mother and child, both barefoot walking along a long dirt path and about to cross a babbling brook. They are wearing classic 19th c. attire, and the mom is carrying a basket that is probably filled with their lunch. The landscape is hilly and barren. Signed lower left. Framed in a beautiful 19th c. carved and painted wooden frame.

                Est: £10,000 - £15,000

                Sir John Everett Millais, Bt., PRA, RWS (British, 1829-1886) An historically important drawing of the artist and his wife Effie as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, inscribed lower edge "EVER & EFRI REX" and extensively inscribed on the reverse, pen and brown ink, circular 4in. (10.2cm.) diameter; mounted with the Great Exhibition bronze medal of 1851 of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, designed by William Wyon, and from which Millais derived the image. * Provenance: Christie's, London 27th February 2007, 27, £9,000; Private collection, Jersey. ** It is thought that the drawing was made around the time of Millais' marriage on 3rd July 1855 to Euphemia, known as Effie, who had previously been married to the art critic John Ruskin. Millais and Effie had fallen in love while holidaying in Scotland with Ruskin in 1853 and she successfully had her marriage annulled on the grounds of non consummation. This intensely private and sensitive matter was reported in detail by the press eager to satisfy the public's curiosity. To escape the gossip surrounding their marriage Millais and Effie spent the first six years of their marriage in Scotland. Effie often appeared in Millais' paintings, most famously in The Order of Release (Tate Britain) which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1853. Although born in Southampton, Millais spent his childhood in Jersey and would always describe himself as a Jerseyman.

Footnote: Note The present painting is one of several versions painted by Millais and his studio after the work now in the Tate Gallery, London referred to by Millais's son in his biography of his father. The painting depicts John Charles Montague, who had been a corporal and later sergeant in the 16th Lancers and served for more than twenty years in India. He distinguished himself on several occasions and wears his campaign, good conduct and long service medals. When he retired in 1847 he was appointed a Yeoman of the Guard. Montague died in May 1878. This picture was painted in 1876, when Millais was then at the height of his fame. Its differences to his ground breaking Pre-Raphaelite work of the 1850s, are attested by his son: "In the summer of 1876 was painted 'The Yeoman of the Guard', a picture which, like the 'The North-West Passage', could hardly have been expected from the same hand as that which created 'Lorenzo and Isabella' and 'The Eve of St. Agnes', so widely different is it from either of them in character and sentiment. In 'The Yeoman' we have a splendid type of the fine old British warrior of which the nation is so proud a subject entirely after Millais' own heart. He delighted to paint it, and always considered the picture amongst the four best that ever came from his brush. It was in 1875 that the idea of this work originated. Millais, having received a commission from a dealer to execute a very large picture of the Yeomen of the Guard searching the vaults beneath the two Houses previous to the opening of Parliament, made a preliminary visit to the Tower of London to see the "Beef Eaters" and study their costume. He was much struck with the splendid colour and tasteful design of the uniform, and thinking that under artificial light its pictorial strength would be lost, he abandoned his original idea, and decided to paint a single figure in all the glory of the open air. The difficulty was to find a model who came up to his ideal wearer of this historic costume; but this at last he found in Major Robert Montagu, a grand old man who most kindly came and sat for the head and hands. The Major had done yeoman service for his country in many campaigns, and his fine dignified head and figure were exactly what the artist required. Now, to sit to an artist for two hours involves a greater strain that is ommonly supposed. It is not surprising there fore that this old gentleman, who was over eighty and very infirm, found the work almost too much for him ; yet having once commenced he would not give in. He was supplied with soup etc. every three-quarters of an hour; and to relieve the strain on his gallant sitter Millais worked at a higher pressure than he had ever done before. The head and hands were dashed in, and completely finished in a few days; and yet, like so much of his best work, it suffered nothing from the rapidity with which it was executed. My uncle, Henry Hodgkinson, who was one of my father's most devoted admirers, and already owned 'Pizarro seizing the Inca of Peru' and 'The Woodman's Daughter' (both fine examples of the painter's earlier manner), had long wished for a specimen of his more recent works, but his limited means restrained him from indulging the desire. Now, however, when he saw 'The Yeoman' for the first time, he could no longer resist the temptation. The picture must be his at any cost; and he bought it. A proud man was he that day and ever afterwards of this possession…. When, later on, the artist expressed a desire that it should be left to the nation, he unselfishly jumped at the suggestion and carried it out by his will." (The Hodgkinson version of the painting was given to the Tate by Mrs Hodgkinson in 1897).
