John Williamson American, 1826-1885 The Nervous Truant, 1861 Signed with artist's initials J.W. and dated 61. (ll) Oil on canvas 10 1/8 x 8 1/4 inches Provenance: Private collection Best known as a landscape painter, Williamson also created genre scenes in the 1850s and 1860s. Rendered at a time when school was a requirement rather than a privilege, this painting captures the universal experience of a child's anxiety and ambivalence about skipping school. Showing the school house in the background, Williamson brings the viewer into the story, leaving it open as to which way the truant will turn. The painting is in keeping with mid-century genre painting, in which narrative scenes tapped into the mixed emotions associated with changes in American society. C The Spanierman Gallery, LLC
