A late Victorian and Edwardian artist, active in production from around 1877-1919, Jameson painted many naturalistic scenes, capturing fine detail in both indoor and external settings. Middleton's primary artistic medium was oil on canvas. Amongst his many works, his portrait of his brother Leander is in the Primary Collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London.
