Rue des Fontenelles has dated this Antique Country House Painting to the 19th Century.
Lionel Birch was a landscape and animal painter from the turn of the 19th to 20th century. He travelled throughout Europe painting and for a while lived in Florence Italy. He also lived at Newlyn and assisted with teaching at the Forbes School. Most of his English landscapes were of the Newlyn, Penzance and Devon area of England.
Birch also served as the Vicar's Senior Warden at St Peter's Church, Newlyn, and wrote a feature for the Parish Magazine called 'Notes from the Studios'. In the NAG exhibitions over the years he exhibited well, and in October 1898 sold two paintings to the Bonham Carter family staying at the Queens Hotel in Penzance. The couple moved to Whimple in about 1911, and later Ottery St Mary in Devon.
