Charles Buchel

He was hired by the actor-manager, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree in 1898, and worked with him for sixteen years.

[1] Buchel painted several portraits of Tree, and also designed theatrical programmes and advertising posters for the theatre.

Buchel is best remembered for having painted many of the stage stars of his era, including Lily Langtry, Henry Irving and George Alexander.

They had three sons: William Brian in 1900; Charles Anthony in 1903, who died as an infant; and Philip Stuart in 1906.

[2][3] While the exact date is unknown, Charles Buchel died in 1950 at 78 years old.
