Artist John Atkinson Grimshaw was an inspired painter of gas-lit urban scenes and pastorals. Grimshaw’s mastery of light and detail is on full display here in Headingley, near Leeds, with brushwork that marvelously captures a scullery maid, leaves, brick, and haze to create an entrancing composition of perspective and light.
