painter, catalogued as the artist of four untitled oil sketches lent by Chester Earles to the 1869 Melbourne Public Library Exhibition, was probably Charles Elder , Caroline Earles’s son from a previous marriage. Presumably, he was taught to paint in oils by his stepfather although any ambition to be a painter appears to have been short-lived. No subsequent works are known.
