Art Funded by you

Watergate Row North, Chester

Louise Rayner, 1892–1896

Louise Rayner's teachers included David Roberts and Frank Stone, and Roberts strongly influenced her taste for ambitious architectural compositions. Her early work tends to be her best, although she remained a skilful architectural draughtsman and never lost her eye for picturesque detail. She lived in Chester from 1871 to 1886, and the Grosvenor Museum built up a large collection of her work, mostly views of the city of considerable topographical interest.
