His paintings have sold at numerous high end fine art auctions worldwide with the current highest recorded sold price being $20,740 US dollars which was for the painting view of lake Coniston and the old man which sold in New York.
He was born in London & was the son of Alfred de Breanski Senior and Annie Roberts, who were also both artist painters. He learnt his craft from his parents and at St. Martin’s School of Art, and met and became acquainted with Whistler during his time in France. He often worked in a similar style to his father, though they each have distinctive signatures. His paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy and at the Royal Society of British Artists. He generally painted natural landscape and rustic scenes, showing the influence of Impressionism in his later life.
He also produced in 1915 a couple of posters for the Underground Electric Railways Company showing Twickenham by Tram and Kew Gardens by Tram. He died in Tonbridge, Kent, in 1957. Sources
