Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Morland, George Henry
MORLAND, GEORGE HENRY (d. 1789?), genre painter, was born early in the eighteenth century. His art at one time was popular, and some of his works, as ' The Pretty Ballad Singer,' 'The Fair Nun Unmasked,' were engraved by "Watson, and 'The Oyster Woman' by Philip Dawe. The last of these pictures is now in the Glasgow Gallery. In 1760 he was assisted by a grant from the Incorporated Society of Artists. He lived on the south side of St. James's Square, and died in 1789 or after. His son, Henry Robert Morland [q. v.], was father of George Morland [q. v.]
