John Deane Simmons fl.1860-1890

Portrait of a Swedish girl

Watercolour


John Deane Simmons is not to be confused with John Simmons, the fairy painter, even though they both seemed to specialise in porcelain-complexioned nymphettes and children in bucolic surroundings. Deane Simmons had a very bright, pre-raphaelite palette with deep indigos and lurid greens and everything depicted in ultra-sharp focus with deep shadow on fabric
