Claude Lorraine Ferneley (British 1822-1892)
Claude Lorraine Ferneley was born in the Melton Mowbray. He was the son of John E. Ferneley (one of the top British equestrian painters) and he often helped out by painting in the background of his fathers pictures. He was also adept at painting copies of his father’s paintings at clients’ request. Claude was obviously influenced by his father’s style and he is most noted for his paintings of hunters.
