"Stump Speaking" is a significant painting by the American artist George Caleb Bingham, created in 1853-1854. This work is part of Bingham's political series, which also includes notable pieces such as "The County Election" and "Verdict of the People," reflecting the artist's keen interest in the democratic process and political life of the United States during the mid-19th century. Bingham, often referred to as "The Missouri Artist," was deeply involved in politics himself, serving in various political roles, which provided him with a unique perspective that he skillfully translated into his art.

"Stump Speaking" depicts a scene of a political campaign in a rural setting, capturing the essence of American democracy through the portrayal of a diverse group of citizens gathered around a speaker. The painting is remarkable for its detailed depiction of the characters, each representing different societal roles and reactions to the political discourse of the time. Bingham's use of light, composition, and color enhances the narrative, drawing attention to the central figure - the stump speaker - while also inviting viewers to explore the reactions and interactions among the audience members.

The artwork serves as a historical document, offering insights into the political culture of the United States prior to the Civil War. It reflects the vibrant public engagement with political debates and the importance of oratory in shaping public opinion. "Stump Speaking" is celebrated for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the understanding of American political and social history.

Today, "Stump Speaking" is held in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum, where it continues to be studied and admired for its portrayal of American democracy in action.
