This painting titled "The Stream in Summertime" is by English artist Benjamin William Leader and is housed in the Guildhall Art Gallery in London. At the age of 14, Leader entered his father's office (he was chief engineer to the Severn Commissioners) and it was one of his chief duties to make surveys on the River Severn. He succumbed to the temptation to sketch the beauties of the scenery and, as a result, obtained his father's permission to train as an artist.
