BIOGRAPHY:
Mark William Langlois was a British painter who was born in 1848. He lived in London and specialized in figure subjects, fruit, genre, and sea pictures. He exhibited his works at the Royal Academy and the Society of British Artists at Suffolk Street, London, England. He flourished during the years 1862 to 1873. Langlois is known to have been born in Surrey to a father who engaged in various artistic occupations, such as goldsmith, watchmaker and art dealer. Langlois appears to have achieved some popularity with still life, landscape and genre scenes in watercolour and oil between 1862 and 1873, when he is known to have exhibited at the Royal Academy. There are newspaper reports in the 1870s and 80s of his paintings being auctioned by private collectors.
