F.A. Eastwood

Frances Annie Eastwood (1859–1941) was the wife of celebrated Victorian artist Francis (Frank) Hurst Eastwood (1855–1944). The pair travelled together extensively, painting the landscapes of France, Spain and Italy. In 1890 the Eastwoods spent six months in Paris, where Frank was influenced by the Impressionists.

Frances Annie would have been fully immersed in the life of a professional artist; her husband trained at the Royal Academy Schools and exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and The Dudley Gallery, Piccadilly. Both artists exhibited with the Haslemere Society of Artists. The couple set up house in a studio flat in Kensington Square Mansions in the 1880s, then at the turn of the century, after the birth of their daughter Nina in 1888, they moved out to Anstead Brook House near Guildford, where Frank built a large studio. In 1926 the family moved to Fernhurst in West Sussex, where their house, Woodsome, was designed to accommodate Frank’s large scale paintings.
