"Stump Speaking" is a notable painting by the American artist George Caleb Bingham, completed in 1853-1854. This work is part of Bingham's iconic series of paintings that depict the democratic process in the United States during the mid-19th century. As a genre painter, Bingham was renowned for his realistic portrayal of American life, particularly scenes of politics, social interactions, and the frontier.

The painting "Stump Speaking" captures a moment during a political campaign, illustrating the practice of candidates addressing the electorate directly from a "stump," which was a common method of political oratory at the time. The scene is set outdoors in a rural community, where a diverse group of citizens has gathered to listen to a politician's speech. The central figure, the stump speaker, is depicted gesturing emphatically as he makes his case to the onlookers, who exhibit a range of reactions from engagement to skepticism.

Bingham's composition reflects the democratic spirit of the era, emphasizing the importance of public debate and the involvement of ordinary citizens in the political process. The painting's attention to detail, from the clothing of the figures to the expressions on their faces, offers a window into the social dynamics and cultural attitudes of antebellum America.

"Stump Speaking" is considered an important work in Bingham's oeuvre and in the genre of American political art. It is celebrated for its historical significance and its insightful commentary on the nature of American democracy. The painting is held in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its portrayal of a pivotal aspect of American political life.
