Maurice Appleby Felton b. 1803

  • Artist (Painter)
Records are uncertain as to whether Maurice Felton practised as a surgeon after his arrival in the colony. However, it is on record that he painted a significant number of well executed and enthusiastically received portraits, as well as landscapes. His untimely death would have denied a number of his contemporaries the opportunity for one of his excellent likenesses.
