Amongst the works featured in the exhibition are two works by Atkinson Grimshaw - a view of Whitby from Station Quay; and a view Grimshaw's house Knostrop Hall at Dusk. Oils by G. F. Watts - Blanche Clogstoun, Watts's adopted daughter, - a charming and very personal portrait - with her relaxed pose, feet on the chair. There is also a lovely Watts pencil drawing of his first wife, the young Ellen Terry.

On the subject of drawings - two featured works by Burne-Jones - one of studies of 'The Backgammon Players, and the other, a study of hands for the portrait of Amy Gaskell.

There is a fine and magical Pre-Raphaelite landscape with bats and rabbits by William Webbe - called Twilight. One of the most extraordinary pictures is the self-portrait in watercolour by George Owen Wynne Apperley. It is was painted in 1915, when the artist was 31. A year later Apperley left England for Spain, where he took up with a Spanish gypsy, who also was the model in many of his pictures. He subsequently moved to Tangier and never returned to the UK.

Approximately 85 works are on view.
