Edward Hughes - An English Artist Collecting Costumes in Brittany [1862]
Edward Hughes was a British Victorian artist who specialised in genre scenes and portraits. Edward lived in London and most likely received his training under the guidance of his father, the landscape artist George Hughes. The ability to show Victorian people in very accurate, realistic, everyday scenes, whether it be at school, church, home, or abroad, was the main goal of the genre artist during this period.
