Charles Stuart (painter)

[9] Other Stuart family members were also artists including his brother William who emigrated to Australia in 1859.

[10] In 1860, Stuart exhibited a work entitled Fair and Fruitful Italy (and J. M. Bowkett) at the Royal Society of British Artists.

An indication of financial and social success was the purchase of The Hermitage, 1 Cleve Road, West Hampstead in 1885.

This was a newly built property with a huge galleried studio connected to the spacious house by a barrel-vaulted glasshouse.

[1] There were exhibition sales of his works on the premises of well known art dealers such as Frost and Reed at 8 Clare Street, Bristol[16]
