Copley Fielding (1787-1855):

(Anthony Van Dyck) Copley Fielding was the best known and most prolific of a family of brothers who were all painters. He trained with his father, travelling with him to Liverpool in 1806 and then to Wales in 1808. In 1810 he entered the Royal Academy schools where he was taught by John Varley. Fielding was particularly proficient as a watercolorist - he exhibited at the Society of Painters in Watercolour beginning in 1810 and was elected president in 1831. In 1824, he won a gold medal at the Paris Salon; his work is in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
