Scope and content
The Hallen Family Artwork series includes artwork by, primarily, three of the Reverend George Hallen's daughters: Sarah, Mary and Eleanora. The artwork is comprised of watercolour paintings and sketches of landscapes, botanical and other studies, architecture and genre scenes. There are also numerous pencil drawings of similar subjects, as well as some protraits. Included with the artwork is a series of sketchbooks created by the Hallen family children. These drawing books contain pencil sketches that appear to be copies of other finished drawings, copied as a learning tool to acquire drawing skills. As the drawings frequently duplicate others in several of the sketchbooks, it is an interesting example of drawing methods and shows the progression of technical skill. Many of the individual drawings in the collection also reflect this progressive method.
