A Scottish immigrant to the United States, John Kane spent most of his life as a manual laborer and began to paint at age 67 without any formal training. His works often depict urban or rural landscapes, images taken from American history, and remembered scenes of his Scottish homeland. Here Kane captures a young woman as she descends a flight of garden stairs. The artist's lifelong dedication to detail and pattern can be seen in the attention he pays to the individual bricks on the path and the stripes on his subject's stockings.
