1722 – 1790

English painter. He lived and worked in the small market town of Knutsford, within easy reach of the Brooke family of Mere, the Heron family of Daresbury and Moor Hall, and John Smith-Barry of Marbury Hall, all of whom commissioned sporting portraits by him. Thomas Stringer as a young man showed much natural talent as an animal painter, but his initial employment was as a servant by Peter Legh of Booths Hall, Knutsford, (1724-1804), a member of an ancient Cheshire gentry family who owned several large houses in the area.Show more
