Lester Sutcliffe "A Sunlit Orchard, Shaw Lane, Headingley" Leeds, Yorkshire oil painting

Born in Heptonstall in 1848, Lester Sutcliffe was a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes. He painted frequently in Whitby, where he lived for many years, capturing scenes of fisher-folk going about their work against misty backdrops from which the town softly emerged. Sutcliffe exhibited with the Newlyn artists later in his career, and married the flower painter Elizabeth Trevor. He also spent twelve years designing and painting stage sets in Liverpool and Birmingham. A keen traveller, he studied painting in Italy and France and exhibited widely, in Birmingham, Manchester, London (Royal Academy, Royal College of Art, Royal Society of British Artists) and Liverpool (Walker Art Gallery). His work can be found in public collections in Leeds and Whitby. Sutcliffe died in Leeds in 1930.
