Légende

The late Mr. H. Gastineau, 1876. This venerable gentleman...was a water-colour artist of no mean pretensions, and laboured to the last in his profession, of which he was devotedly fond. He exhibited and sold not less than eleven pictures in the 1875 Exhibition of the Old Society of Painters in Water Colours. In early life he was apprenticed to an engraver; but, after emancipating himself from that trade, he took to painting, first in oils, and subsequently in water colours. A reference to the catalogues of the Old Society shows that he first exhibited in their gallery in the year 1818...At his decease he had been connected with the society fifty-eight years, being the last surviving of the old members...Mr. Gastineau has left...an unmarried daughter, Miss Maria Gastineau, who inherits her father's love of art, and is herself a member of the Ladies' Society of Painters in Water Colours. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
