James Wallis b. c.1785

  • Artist (Painter)
Captain Wallis, commandant of the penal settlement at Newcastle. Close association with convict artist Joseph Lycett. For some years discussion has occurred as to whether Wallis was an artist or simply used drawings prepared for him by Lycett. The painting 'Corroboree at Newcastle' was long attributed to Wallis, although there is now common agreement that it was painted by Lycett.
