John Byam Liston Shaw was the son of John Shaw and his wife, Sophia Alicia Byam Gunthorpe. In 1899 Byam Shaw married the artist Evelyn Caroline Eunice Pyke-Nott, later known as Evelyn CE Shaw (1870–1959). Evelyns sister was Isabel Codrington, another early twentieth century artist. Byam Shaw came from an Ayreshire family of lawyers and clerics. The Ayreshire Shaws were a cadet branch of the Shaws of Tordarroch, chiefs of the Clan Shaw. Byam Shaws forebears included the two reverend Shaws (father and son) referred to in Burns "Twa Herds". Evelyns family, the Pyke-Notts, were gentry from Swimbridge and Parracombe in North Devon.

The couple had five children including the actor and theatre director Glen Byam Shaw and the art historian James Jim Byam Shaw. Their only daughter, Barbara, married Rear-Admiral A.F. Pugsley. Another son, David, a naval officer and destroyer captain, awarded the OBE, was killed at sea during World War II whilst in command of HMS Stanley, whilst George, a major in the Royal Scots, was killed at Dunkirk in 1940 whilst second-in-command of the 1st Battalion. The family is depicted in the artists semi-autobiographical pastel painting My Wife, My Bairns and My Wee Dog John (1903).

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Edwardian narrative paintings frequently depict domestic interior scenes, focusing on intimate figurative compositions, play, and daily life influenced by late nineteenth-century British academic traditions.

Artisan oil paints made from ground pigments and drying oils like linseed were applied directly onto stretched flax linen canvas, often finished with protective varnish and housed in carved giltwood frames.

Authentic period paintings display uniform surface craquelure, age-appropriate darkening or stretcher marks on the reverse canvas, and distinct period-correct artist signatures or gallery labels.

Displaying a dark-toned narrative painting against a muted or dark wall creates an elegant focal point, whether integrated into a mixed-era gallery wall or hung singularly above architectural features.

Paintings should be kept in climate-controlled environments away from direct sunlight, excess moisture, and direct heat sources, using only a dry, soft brush to periodically remove surface dust.
