Today’s work of art depicts Life in the Hop Garden, and is by illustrator Phoebus Levin. It was painted in 1859 and today the original resides at the Towneley Hall Art Gallery and Museum located in Burnley, Lancashire.

Levin lived from 1836-1878 and was born in Berlin, but exhibited in London from 1855-1878. That’s about all the biographical information I could find about him. You can see a few more of his works at My Art Prints and ArtNet.
