Alfred H. Vickers (1853–1907) was an English landscape painter whose subjects included rivers, wooded paths and quiet countryside views. He belonged to a family of landscape artists and is generally distinguished from the earlier painter Alfred Vickers (1786–1868), with whom his work can sometimes be confused.
His A Woman on a Path by a Stream brings a figure into a wooded riverside setting, combining landscape observation with the modest narrative element popular in Victorian pictures. Scenes of trees, water and distant countryside offered opportunities to explore the effects of light and atmosphere.
The surviving record of his career is less extensive than that of many major Victorian painters. His work is best understood within the broad nineteenth-century tradition of British landscape painting, which ranged from topographical accuracy to more atmospheric effects. He died in 1907.

Glasgow and the Mackintosh Style
We recently took ourselves off to Scotland, and on our travels, we popped into the Mackintosh Tea Rooms in Glasgow for a bit of a nose around and a spot of lunch.
