Label Text:
Brown, a student of the Pre-Raphaelite painter William Scott Bell, immigrated to the United States in 1853, and established a studio in New York’s storied Tenth Street Studio Building, whose other tenants included Sanford Gifford, George Inness, John Frederick Kensett, Alexander Wyant, and Albert Bierstadt. In the 1880s, Brown developed the highly marketable specialty to which The Apple Boy belongs: sentimental genre scenes of street urchins attractively posed in the artist’s studio.
