Middleton Jameson (fl.1877-1919)

Although he exhibited a number of times at both the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists, little is known about Middleton Jameson. From the present lots, it is apparent that he travelled extensively, took an interest in local customs and culture, and was a man of depth and interest. The variety in the lots (ranging from English rustic scenes to South African anthropological documentation highlight his breadth as an artist) is reflected in the range of works he exhibited at the R.A.: Cupid and Psyche (1899, no. 293) Assegai making, Masonhaland (1895, no.62) and In Versailles' gardens (1904, no. 1074).
