  • Signed by the well-known British pigeon artist Frank Paton.
  • Frank Paton (23 November 1855 – 13 November 1909) was an English artist of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, best known for his paintings of animals and scenes of rural life. He was a successful artist during his lifetime and could even count Queen Victoria as an admirer of his work. Frank Paton was a British 19th Century his works have sold auctions around the world, the highest recorded was 33,600 US dollars for A Hidden Feast, that sold at Christie's.
  • Frank Paton was born on 23 November 1855 in Stepney, London, England. His parents were James Paton and Mary Ann Paton (nee Ross) and he was the youngest of their seven children. Although Stepney, in the East End of London, was a stronghold for the Paton family, Frank Paton grew up in and around Graves end in Kent, as his father was a maritime pilot (Graves end, at the mouth of the River Thames, was a pilot station for the port of London. Unlike his brothers, the majority of whom entered the Merchant Navy. Frank Paton showed an early talent for drawing animals and was allowed to follow his artistic bent.
  • His first known exhibition was at the age of sixteen, the piece being a portrait of a German peasant girl. Family rumor has it that Paton briefly spent time in France working in stained-glass before being recalled by his father. It is believed that he then traveled to, and made a living in, Australia. Paton had relatives in Australia - an Uncle and Aunt had emigrated there from London in the 1850s and settled in Williamstown, Victoria - so this is plausible and Australian immigration records of the time show that a Frank Paton, aged 19, an unassisted passenger on the "Shannon" from London, arrived in Melbourne in September 1875. 
  • If Paton did spend time in Australia, then it is unclear for how long. What is certain, however, is that he was in England during 1878 as this was the year that his painting "You Are No Chicken" - a modest sized oil on panel featuring two chicks staring at a frog - was accepted by the Royal Academy for exhibition. It was to be a turning point in the young artist's career as the work was purchased by Edward Ernest Leggatt. Although only the same age as Paton, Leggatt was already running a print and art dealership from a Fen church Street address in London. You Are No Chicken was engraved in a mezzotint by J B Pratt in 1880. Its commercial success cemented a lifelong association with Leggatt, who became the main publisher of Frank Paton's work.
  • After marrying, Frank Paton mainly lived in rural communities in Kent and in Essex. He divided his time between London and the countryside, accepting commissions for animal portraits from their owners. He was a good family man and raised four sons and three daughters with his wife. Of these, his second-eldest son Basil and youngest daughter Dorothy showed considerable artistic talent (the latter becoming a commercial artist and occasionally exhibiting works in public). Although never a member of the Royal Academy, a total of 20 works by Paton were exhibited at their annual selling exhibition between the years 1878 and 1890.
  • His reputation was firmly established, it was of little consequence and the artist continued to work until his final days. At the time of his death, Paton was living in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex.
