The artwork named “Appleton Thorn” was created by the artist Robert Bateman in the year 1880. Ascribed to the Romanticism art movement, it falls under the genre of genre painting.
The artwork depicts a central tree adorned with a decorative crest, festoons, and flags. At the base of the tree, there are two figures, one of a woman dressed in traditional attire and another of a man playing a musical instrument. To either side of the central tree, there are additional trees, each bearing a shield with heraldic symbols. In the foreground, an inscription on a banner reads “THE APPLETON THORN.” The composition is set against a textured, golden background, creating a warm, historical ambiance reflective of the Romanticism era.
