Why are you reporting this puzzle?
"A Midland landscape painter and watercolourist, he was known as 'Baker of Leamington'.
"Baker’s paintings of a rural idyll have had an enduring popularity in spite of changing fashions in art. Today, as in the 19th Century, collectors are eager to buy his work and there was even said to have been a “Baker craze” in the late 19th Century when his pictures fetched outrageous prices.
"Almost all Baker’s landscapes are shown under the blue skies of spring or summer, again giving the illusion of the countryside as a perpetually warm, pleasant environment."
