Description: | The gallery at Towneley once contained an unbroken series of over 150 family portraits from 1600 to the end of the 19th century but the collection was dispersed when the family left in 1902. Subsequently 11 oil paintings, 1 pastel, 6 silhouettes and 7 marble portrait busts have returned into the museum's collection. The museum also has records of the inventories of the portraits catalogued in 1844 and 1861 and auction catalogues relevant to the subsequent sales of the many of the portraits.; Towneley Hall Art Gallery And Museum | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 01282 436138 | Telephone: | 01282 424213 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:8786 | Go to resource |
