"The Poacher" is a painting by John Arthur Lomax, an English artist known for his depictions of rural and pastoral scenes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lomax, born in 1857 in Manchester and active until his death in 1923, was particularly recognized for his ability to capture the essence of English country life, often portraying the people and animals that inhabited these landscapes.

The painting "The Poacher" is emblematic of Lomax's genre scenes, which frequently featured narratives of rural existence. In this work, Lomax illustrates the figure of a poacher, a person who illegally hunts or catches game or fish on someone else's property. The poacher is typically depicted as a solitary figure, often at the edge of woodlands or in the act of stealthily pursuing his quarry. Lomax's attention to detail in the representation of the poacher's attire and the surrounding environment reflects his commitment to realism and his skill in rendering textures and natural light.

While the exact date of creation for "The Poacher" is not specified, it is likely that the painting was produced during the peak of Lomax's career, when he was actively exhibiting at institutions such as the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists. The painting would have resonated with contemporary audiences familiar with the tensions between landowners and those who sought to challenge their exclusive rights to game.

"The Poacher" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its social commentary, as poaching was a contentious issue in Victorian and Edwardian England, often highlighting the class divide and the struggle for survival among the rural poor. Lomax's portrayal may evoke sympathy for the poacher, seen as a rebel against the strict game laws of the time, or it might be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the consequences of defying societal norms.

As with many of Lomax's works, "The Poacher" would appeal to collectors and admirers of traditional English genre painting, and it contributes to the historical understanding of rural life and social issues of the period. The painting is a testament to Lomax's artistic legacy and his contribution to the genre of British rural scene painting.
