George Dunlop Leslie (1835-1921) was a British Neoclassicist and then pre-Raphaelite. He was born in London, the son of famous artist C.R. Leslie. Leslie was educated at Cary's Academy and then the Royal Academy, exhibiting work at the RA continuously after 1857. He later moved to Wallingford-on-Thames and became a devoted gardener.Leslie was noted for his depictions of idealized Victorian domesticity, such as this serving maid in Tea (1894), now in a private collection.

John,
I am learning more about art on this Blog, than I did in 9 1/2 years of high school and college and grad school. Please don't stop, and in fact, put up more examples from each artist.
Thanks, Keith! I'm glad that people are enjoying it.
Ya'll keep in mind that I have not the slightest clue what I'm writing about. I had a grand total of one art history course in college. This is just a hobby.
