A Lady in Blue
Arthur Devis was an 18th century British painter. Devis was born in Preston, but spent most of his career in London. He painted mainly portraits and delicate genre scenes. Devis did not paint typical portraits, rather, he would position his sitters in informal poses with interesting backgrounds and landscapes.

The James Family
Though Devis found little success in his lifetime, a revival of his work was met with much popularity in the 1930's. Devis's paintings are also highly admired by historians and art critics for the wealthy and often historically famous patrons that sat for him.
