Richard was my great great grandfather. So far we have identified a number of seascapes and landscapes by him.
He was born in Westminste and moved to Lambeth, Carlyle Street, where he lived with his son and grandchildren. He had 3 sons all painters or signwriters.
I believe that some of his paintings went on sale in Sotheby's International from Australia this month.
The painting could be a commissioned portrait or one of his children. The family (widest sense) had a bat buildin business in Westmister at that time, so he would have cotacts from overseas.
If you would be so kid as to photograph the painting and send adigital image to
john@pembery.co.uk I will look for a family resemlane if you like.
Best wishes.
