WITHOUT HANDS: THE ART OF SARAH BIFFIN

Until 21st December 2022

Artist Sarah Bi…n (1784-1850) came from humble origins yet rose to fame in the 19th century as a remarkably talented miniaturist, undertaking commissions for royalty.

As a working-class, disabled female artist, her artwork – many proudly signed “without hands” – is a testament to her talent and life-long determination.

But despite her proliƒc artistic output and appearance in numerous published memoirs, letters and literary works by leading ƒgures of her age, Sarah Bi…n’s remarkable life has been largely overlooked by art historians. Until now. A new exhibition at

Philip Mould & Company – the ƒrst to focus on Sarah in a century – hopes to rectify this.

Until 10th April 2023

This is the first public exhibition in over 40 years to focus on the three accomplished and influential artists: Sydney (1888-1929), Hilda (1889-1950) and Richard Carline (1896-1980). It celebrates the work of the talented family, bringing together pieces from collections across the country; many of which have not been seen in public for over 30 years.
