专家说明

John Simmons, who was born in Nailsea, ran a business as a house and ship painter in Bristol. Ellis Waterhouse commented that his 'earlier portrait style shows a knowledge of Hogarth' and that 'by the 1770s his portraits are on a par with those of Beach ... and are of excellent quality' (E. Waterhouse, The Dictionary of British 18th Century Painters, Woodbridge, 1981, p.345). Other portraits by him can be found in the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery.
