William Miller was primarily a society portrait painter but also known as an antiquarian horological collector. He was born in Florence on 24th April 1851 as third son of six, plus two daughters, of John and Harriet Miller (née Edwards). John was usually recorded as an artist himself, including on his marriage at St Pancras, London, on 22nd October 1846 and at his children’s baptisms, but was really a gentleman of private means who was living in Europe for some years when his second and third sons were born. The second was John Douglas Miller, apparently born early in 1850 in Paris, who in 1871 was a co-pupil and just ahead of William in the Royal Academy Schools: he became a well-known mezzotint engraver and protégé of George Richmond. The eldest son was Arthur William Kaye Miller (1849–1914) who in 1871 had just begun a 44-year career at the British Museum where he became an influential bibliographer/cataloguer and eventually Keeper of Printed Books. For his last 23 years there to retirement in 1913 the ordering and printing of its General Catalogue was entirely under his control. He died suddenly in the Museum the following year while showing his daughter a newly opened gallery there.
William Miller began exhibiting at the RA in 1873, with A Study and A Girl’s Head, but mostly portraits and a few more studies and figure subjects following. Up until 1893 he only failed to do so in 1877–1878, 1882, 1884, 1888 and 1891: his more sporadic final RA entries – all portraits – were in 1895, 1900, 1903 and 1909. He also exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy (1891 only), the Grosvenor Gallery, the New Gallery, at Birmingham and at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, but again only up to 1909 at any of them. Thereafter his practice, which included some commissioned copy portraits for Oxford and Cambridge colleges, ran on privately to 1929

19th century French, Surrender of the French at Huningen Fort to the Austrians
Located in Woodbury, CT
Wonderful French period copy of the famous painting by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille, which the original is now in a museum in Paris.
This piece came from a private collection in New Jersey where it had been since it was purchased in France back in the 1950s. The previous owner was an Art dealer in NYC during the 1950s-70s and she kept some of her favorite paintings, this being one of them.
The piece was re-framed in the 1990s
In 35 years of dealing in paintings, I have never seen another example of this scene, it is very rare.!
History of the scene:
In the Siege of Hüningen (27 November 1796 – 1 February 1797), the Austrians captured the city from the French. Hüningen is in the present-day Department of Haut-Rhin, France. Its fortress lay approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of the Swiss city of Basel and .5 miles (0.80 km) north of the spot where the present-day borders of Germany, France, and Switzerland meet. During the time of this siege, the village was part of the Canton of Basel City and the fortress lay in an area contested between the German states and the First French Republic.
The siege occurred within the French Revolutionary Wars during which Revolutionary France ranged...
