John Robert Keitley Duff began his working life as a barrister but by his thirties was committed to the path of artist. He studied art at the Slade School under Alphonse Legros. A painter in oil, watercolour and pastel and an etcher, often featuring birds and animals in his work. Duff exhibited at the Royal Academy 1891-1925 and with the New English Art Club from 1894 and was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 1913 and of the Royal Society of Etchers in 1919. He exhibited at the Ipswich Fine Art Club from 100 Sunningdale Road, Hendon, London in 1923, a mezzotint 'The Rickyard'. Shortly before his death he donated a quantity of his watercolours, NW. 4, pastels, etchings, and enamels to the Southwold Museum in Suffolk and others to Hendon Central Library.

- Circle of Thomas Girtin, Sheep in a hilly pasture, early English watercolourLocated in Harkstead, GBA charming rural scene painted in the style of Thomas Girtin with good strong colours. Circle of Thomas Girtin Sheep in a hilly pasture with a farmhouse Signed with initials and dated "AP (18)05' Watercolour, with attractive washline mount 6¾ x 9¾ inches with frame 14 x 17 inches including frame Thomas Girtin was born in London in 1775, the same year as J.M.W. Turner, and died in 1802, at the age of twenty-seven. The art of watercolour was transformed during Girtin's brief life. This was especially marked in landscape watercolours, which grew in scale and ambition. Led by Girtin and Turner, watercolourists abandoned careful stained drawings for a more dramatic style of painting that captured moods and a range of light and weather effects. Not everyone welcomed the rapid technical changes, especially as revolution and war threatened the established political order. For a brief period, however, watercolour painting was the epitome of modern art, and the landscapes of Girtin and Turner were welcomed as a national triumph. Girtin was apprenticed at the age of 14, in the year of the French Revolution, and by the age of 19 he was exhibiting at London's Royal Academy, and producing watercolour landscapes for private patrons. However, unlike Turner, Girtin remained something of an outsider to the art establishment: he did not study at the Academy's schools, and was rumoured to have radical, or even revolutionary sympathies. He also tried to break away from the traditional reliance on the patronage of the wealthy, partly by trying to sell his work on the open market, and partly through two larger projects aimed at a mass audience: a group of twenty printed Views of Paris and an enormous 360 degree panorama of London...Category
