  2. Thanks Enzie. These were such a talented family - I hope one day someone writes a book on them. They deserve it.

  3. I saw this painting in the Guildhall Art Gallery's Age of Elegance exhibiton and was entranced by it. I can't believe it's a watercolour. There's definitely scope for a biography about the Hayllar family...
