Ring a Ring a Roses - Frederick Morgan - Kingfisher - 11"H x 14"W

Frederick Morgan, was an English painter of portraits, animals, domestic and country scenes. He became known for his idyllic genre scenes of childhood.

He was commonly known as Fred Morgan and was the son of John Morgan, a successful genre artist sometimes known as 'Jury Morgan' (after one of his paintings The Gentlemen of the Jury).

Eventually he turned to other subjects for his art, in particular idyllic genre scenes of country life and childhood. Although an excellent portrait artist, Morgan had problems in depicting pets and barnyard animals and he enlisted the aid of either Arthur John Elsley or Allen Sealey when such problems needed resolving.

He is known mostly for his romantic and sentimental paintings of children in the same style as his contemporary Arthur John Elsley.
