Arthur Anderson Fraser (1861-1904) was a landscape painter in watercolour who was a member of the artistic Fraser family originally from Holywell in Bedfordshire. He was the son of army surgeon Dr Robert Winchester Fraser who settled in Bedford in 1861 and had six other sons and two daughters, many of whom took up painting. Arthur was largely self-taught as an artist. His only formal instruction in drawing appears to have been at his local grammar school in Bedford. Nevertheless, by the early 1880s his advancing skills as a watercolourist resulted in several works being accepted for exhibition at the Society of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, as well as at annual art exhibitions in Bedford and Manchester.The delicate brushwork of which Arthur was capable can be seen in his painting of frosty branches in Bromham Park at Art Gallery of New South Wales, which evokes a chilly landscape with a presage of spring in the air. Arthur was inclined towards tranquil country scenes, with a fondness for the woods, fields and towpaths along the stretch of the River Great Ouse between Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.. He painted angling scenes, mainly in watercolour and showed at Suffolk Street and at the New Society of Painters in Water Colours. He was reputedly also an accomplished cartoonist. Arthur Anderson Fraser was a member of the White Cockade Club and the Legitimist Jacobite League of Great Britain and Ireland, which hoped to depose Queen Victoria and reinstate the Stuart dynasty.
