Biography Philip Rashleigh, aka Frank Rashleigh exhibited at NAG in 1937. Both he and his wife studied with Stanhope Forbes.  His wife (no personal name known) attended the school of painting in 1935-6, and her husband the following year (1937). There is some confusion related to the name 'Philip' which is clearly published in the pupil list, and the name 'Frank Rashleigh' which is used for exhibiting purposes. This may be the same person, or two different members of the Rashleigh family of Cornwall.
A painting by Frank R Rashleigh is held in the collection of Redruth Town Museum, entitled View of Carn Brea (oil on canvas).ALT  Victorian Interior Portrait by Edouard Hamman Richard Taylor Fine Art
