Mann after returning from his scholarship study in Italy, settled in Yorkshire where his genre work focusing on local farming and fishing villages. It is at this time he became involved with The Glasgow Boys. The groiup had two primary beliefs. First, disgust with the then popular Scottish art milleu dominated by Edinburgh. Second, an interest in expanding the boundaries of Naturalism and Impressionism.
Mann's early work was genre paintings depicting rural Yorkshire. This could not be more different than his subsequent portraiture work are not sure how to attribure the shift, but presume it was the lucrative commissions associated with the portraits.
