Philip Augustus Barnard

Portrait miniature of Mr. Charles Brett (on ivory, 1841)

Philip Augustus Barnard (1813–1897) was a British painter, born in London. Barnard produced miniatures and portraits in oils, and his work was exhibited at the Royal Academy for almost forty-five years. He was married to fellow painter Hebe Saunders, who also exhibited works under her married name. They were the parents of the portrait painter Walter Saunders Barnard (1851–1930).[1][2]

He also rose to minor prominence when he painted a miniature painting of Queen Victoria as a gift. It was never passed on to her, and instead hung in the Royal Academy.[3]
