George Washington Thomas Lambert (1873-1930) was a realistic painter and son of an American railroad engineer. Born in St. Petersburg, his parents emigrated to Australia. He worked as a clerk in a transport company. However, he gravitated towards a rural way of life ( Landscape with Farmers) and he found a fondness for horses that he captured in his hauntingly, colourfully soothing paintings, for example Settler’s Daughter. When his paintings began to earn money, he returned with his wife to England, but shortly thereafter moved back to Paris as London seemed to him too conservative. In Paris, he drew inspiration and techniques of old masters such as Anthony Van Dyck an Peter Paul Rubens < / a>. Before the outbreak of World War I, he devoted himself to portraits of friends and family. His most important portrait was the equestrian portrait of Edward III. He returned to Australia in 1921 and exhibited and worked there until his death in the 1930s.
