painter, reputedly painted two oil paintings of Government House, Hobart Town, in 1836, now known only through photographs by the later Tasmanian photographer J.W. Beattie. Since Beattie had a habit of having early sketches turned into oil paintings before photographing them, there is some doubt about the medium in which these lost images were executed.
