A beautiful panoramic view of Chislehurst Common in England with a windmill, cottages and a few travelers beneath an expansive sky by English artist, Edmund John Niemann (1813-1876). The painting has a bright, beautiful sky and clouds that simply draws the viewer into the painting. The artist signature is lower right corner and also names the location.

The painting measures 24” x 42” and overall with the gilt frame, measures approximately 28” x 46 1/2”. The painting is in very good condition and has some signs of previous restoration. The frame appears to be in its original condition with no sign of damage or repair. The old labels on the back of the painting list the artist as “Niemann Jnr” which may indicate the painting may be by his son, Edward H. Niemann. However, the signature and the painting look more like Edmund John Niemann, but it is likely not possible to determine with certainty.

Detail of this painting was used for the cover of the book In Trust for Chislehurst: The Commons and the Commoners: A History by Colin Yardley, 2019. See last photo for an image of the book’s cover.
