"Stump Speaking" is a notable painting created by American artist George Caleb Bingham in 1853-54. Bingham, known for his depictions of frontier life and political scenes in the mid-19th century United States, captures the essence of American democracy and public discourse in this work. The painting is part of Bingham's Election Series, which also includes "The County Election" and "The Verdict of the People," and it provides a vivid portrayal of a political rally in a rural setting.

In "Stump Speaking," Bingham illustrates a scene where a politician, standing on a makeshift platform or "stump," addresses a diverse crowd of listeners. The composition is rich with detail, showcasing a cross-section of society including attentive farmers, skeptical onlookers, and engaged citizens. The central figure, the orator, is depicted with a commanding presence, gesturing emphatically as he delivers his speech. The audience's varied reactions, from earnest attention to casual indifference, reflect the democratic process and the varied public opinion of the time.

Bingham's use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to the characters' expressions and postures, adds depth and realism to the scene. The painting is not just a historical record but also a commentary on the political culture of the era, emphasizing the importance of public participation and debate in the democratic process.

"Stump Speaking" is housed in the Saint Louis Art Museum, where it continues to be a significant piece for both its artistic merit and its historical value. Bingham's work remains a vital part of American art history, offering insights into the political and social dynamics of 19th-century America.
