Born into a prominent family of artists,Frances was a late entrant to exhibiting (being at least 25 years old) when she had her first one woman show. Like her famous father, Samuel Rayner, she specialised in architectural subjects with a religious leaning. She exhibited one painting, a watercolour titled "Church of St Andre, Antwerp" at the Suffolk Street Gallery in London in 1861 while she was living in Brighton. She travelled extensively on the Continent, painting many cathedral scenes like in the Mosque at Cordoba. This painting is a characteristic example of her later work. Price: $2,400. Fine Art.
