Barker was influenced by the English landscape painter John Constable and often painted scenes of the countryside in the West of England, particularly the Somerset and Wiltshire regions. His paintings were characterized by their naturalistic style and attention to detail, which captured the beauty and tranquility of rural life.
Some of Barker's notable works include "Landscape with a Pond," "The Village Green," and "Cottage at Evening." His paintings can be found in the collections of several museums, including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Tate Britain in London.
