George Harley (painter)

[1] George Harley, born in 1791, appears as an exhibitor at the Royal Academy in 1817, when he sent two drawings of views in London.

In 1848 he published a small Guide to Pencil and Chalk Drawing from Landscape, dedicated to his past and present pupils, which reached a second edition.

[1] Harley died in 1871, aged eighty, and was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.

A view of Fulham Church and Putney Bridge entered the collection of the South Kensington Museum.
