Charles Collins is an artist emerging from obscurity as more paintings have been discovered or re-attributed to him.
Strickland merely quotes Walpoles reference to him, and the Hume Sale and pays little attention to the picture in the
National Gallery of Ireland. We can now see that he was a decorative artist of ability.
