Artist Biography

Frank Paton born in Stepney, East London, he was raised in Gravesend, Kent. A painter and engraver of sporting subjects, a large number of sepia prints were published, engraved by Paton after his own, and others' work, which took the form of a large picture in the centre with small humorous sketches, many of which were canine, all round the edges relating to the central subject. He painted in oil and watercolour and, although they are rare, he painted some good horse portraits. He contributed illustrations to various publications and is best known for his etched Christmas cards. He showed at the RA on at least 20 occasions. His daughter was the artist Dorothy Paton.
